I'm not sure where upstream is, but I'm talking about the package 
NetworkManager-kde4 from the openSUSE 11.1 repository for KDE4:Factory 
(currently 4.2.1).

The version I have is:
NetworkManager-kde4-0.7.svn924744-60.24

Wireless, Wired, and VPN are available to me, although I really only use the 
Wireless tab.

You are using NetworkManager, right?  It really only works in connection 
with NetworkManager, which some people don't like.  NM works well for my use 
of my laptop, but I do disable it for my desktop.

I have my widget in the panel, it has at least 3 icons (disconnected, wired, 
wireless) and an animation (spinning dots: "working") that I've seen.  I 
have it configured for 2 different work wireless networks plus my home 
wireless network, all set to auto-connect and it works well.

It seems to auto-connect even if it already has a fully-working connection 
via the wired connection, which is a bit stupid but that works fine.
