I've just checked yumex and I can't find either kwifimanager or knetworkmanager.  
ISTR that the last 'k' network manager I used was a KDE3 one.  It worked, sort 
of, in KDE4.

On my F11 netbook I use the network management widget.  It seems absolutely 
fine now - the frequent line-drops of the past have almost totally disappeared.  
It's my other laptop with Mandriva that has wicd.  It comes highly 
recommended, but I'd seriously suggest that you try getting the widget working 
in Fedora.
