No, it's still screwed up.

I just did a clean install of Karmic on a new Dell Latitude E6400.  Karmic installs plasma-widget-networkmanagement by default.  There is NO knetworkmanager package listed at all.  If there's a different package I should be installing, I'll apparently need a ppa for it.

Under plasma-widget-networkmanagement, version 0.9~svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1, I get the following log messages in /var/log/daemon:
