Actually I think I'm running something too new... I've been trying to stay on 
the bleeding edge to try and obtain WPA-PSK support for Prism54 and that's 
the result. When I have a spare couple of hours, I'll emerge old(er) versions 
of wireless-tools and try emerge kdenetwork-3.4.1 again with USE="wifi".
In any case, I hope the archive of this thread will show up in Google soon 
enough for others to find... In the meantime, kdenetwork seems to run fine.

Many thanks for the help.

Cheers,
