I had a look the other night. I encountered the immediate problems:

- knm doesn't show up in my trunk systray. The app seems to start and run, but the 
  statusnotifier won't show up in the systray. That's up to date trunk.
- The Plasmoid doesn't compile right now due to some moving of classes, probably not 
  that hard to fix
- Clicking on items didn't have any effect. This is likely a problem not specific to 
  the plasmoid, possibly D-Bus permissions. As far as I could trace it, the 
  networkmanager part is fine, the signal doesn't make it across the bus to 
  NetworkManager it seems

From there on, it's testing stuff and fixing the resulting breakage. Most pieces are 
in place, and once the D-Bus problem is sorted, it should work for at least wired and 
wireless networks. I couldn't test VPN and G3 stuff, since I don't have such 
connections available, hardware-/service-wise.

Code is in http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/networkmanager/
