What kind of system does Ubuntu use?
I would have expected that they are using NetworkManager, since it has both a 
GNOME and a KDE frontend, .e.g Ubuntu would use gnome-network-manager and 
Kubuntu would use knetworkmanager.

Independent of the original system: any particular reason why you switched to 
kwifimanager?
