Sorry to say that I don't have a network.  An optional dependency for
KDEBase is the the NetworkManager program:

http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/

Do you have this installed?  Note that this is a daemon and must be
started after the DHCP (if you are using that).

Sorry that I haven't tried it, but from what the documentation says,
this should find your wireless network for you.
