KDE 4.3 should include a systray applet for knetworkmanager which is not present

[Untitled No. 4]

Since KDE 4.3 RC3 the network management widget does not show connected status when connected to a network.

In 4.3 final release the KDE devs have removed the widget and replaced with a systray applet which doesn't seem to be present in the packages for Jaunty from the ppa.

The KDE bug report with the devs reply is here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201429

I hope it will be done because this widget has a problem, the control bar icon always shows the "disconnected" icon instead of the wireless icon when the connection is established.

Technically it's not actually part of KDE 4.3.
Anyway, a backport of the package from Kubuntu 9.10 is in the 4.3 repo right now. If you don't see it now, it should show up as an update in an hour at most.

It's working for me now after upgrade so I'm closing this bug report.
