I double checked, and it's using the plasmoid instead of KNetwork
manager - possibly because it was a clean install vs upgrade?  I like
the plasmoid (offers a LOT more information about your conenction)
over the old KNetworkManager.  I wonder... I'll have ot go poke the
bug reports to see ifthere is a known issue with the plasmoid... oddly
though, I'm using the same install on my laptop, and there the
plasmoid is working fine to manage VPNs, wired NIC and WiFi.
