I've just had a look at it. It didn't "just work" and I didn't try to make it, but from what I've seen I gather that knetworkmanager is useful for configuring connection profiles for multiple network environments. That's fine for what it is, but right now actually the least of my problems. I'm more interested in things such as proxy servers and network filesystems, possibly firewall settings.

To make thinks more concrete. When I'm working on a project at home and at a client site, I easily get network access by means of DHCP in both places. But at home I need no proxies, rely on the firewall in my router and there are no network filesystems I need to mount. When at the client site, I have to configure proxy settings for KDE, Firefox, Subversion (Subclipse), and I want my own local firewall.
