Are you referring to knetworkmanager or the Plasma applet?  	Yes, you can go 
ahead and use knetworkmanager now.  You can use it for VPN and 3G too - it's 
just polish lacking there. We're shipping it in openSUSE 11.2, and it's 
available for 11.1 in the OBS repos.  Kubuntu and Fedora are shipping it in 
their autumn releases, albeit with a git master version of NetworkManager that 
I don't use and without testing anything more complex than wireless.

In theory you can use the plasmoid as well, since they share 90% of their 
code, but I am concentrating on 'finishing' the backend parts and validating 
those with knetworkmanager before I start distracting myself with working 
around QGraphicsView layout bugs to ship something that looks 21st century but 
isn't of any use.  Sebastan Kügler was working on it a bit, you may want to 
give him a nudge to pick up tools again.
