Since I already had a networkmanager based setup in KDE3 I continued using 
that on KDE4, i.e. using the KDE3 KNetworkManager GUI for controlling the 
NetworkManager system service.

Some distributions already package the Plasma based networkmanager GUI so 
users of those should be able to use this instead.
