I just did an upgrade, and knetworkmanager seems to have suddenly vanished from the build:
knetwork manager is not available for distributions that use network-manager 0.9 or above due to the fact that critical functionality was removed from the upstream network-manager project.
We are investigating other network management systems for inclusion in TDE as network-manager appears to be a poor choice for TDE at this time.
I suggest using the GTK nm-applet for now. At least on Ubuntu Precise, everything works perfectly when just running nm-applet in a Trinity session. I haven't encountered a single problem yet with it. I do not think it would be wise to try to replace network-manager, because there do not seem to be any alternatives with a comparable amount of features.

I am not so sure--nm-applet won't even display it's icon here, and to make matters worse it is a known and ignored upstream bug. The network-manager developers seem to be focusing on Gnome/Unity only; the icon bug also appears on xfce. To top it all off I personally think nm-applet's user interface is rather ugly and difficult to use. :-)
