I upgraded from KDE 4.5 to 4.6, as part of a world update, and now I've lost the networkmanager from the systray. Networkmanager is running, though, I have wired connectivity, but I've no wireless connectivity, since I can't tell it to connect to anything.

Also, if I go to 'System Settings' -> 'Network Settings', I can't see any of my networks (but they are present in my wallet)

I'm kind of stumped, and for a lot of places, I need my WiFi to work!

suggestions, ?

What network manager front-end were you using? Were you using the plasmoid from knetworkmanager?

If it is the plasmoid, would you might want to try readding the widget to your panel.

By the way, the following bug might or might not be related to your issue:

And if I use cnetworkmanager, I get the error: "The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings was not provided by any .service files"
