1. knetworkmanager needs to be ran as a normal user not via sudo. If ran via sudo, it is running as root and will look in root's home directory for the kwallet which contains the password for your wireless link. I've just ran knetworkmanager as a normal user and it has logged in.

2. I miss configured knetworkmanager initially, so I removed the file ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc You may just want to stop knetworkmanager and rename this file. Then start knetworkmanager and set up your wireless link again.

3. What is in your /etc/default/wpasupplicant file? Does the line starting OPTIONS using the flag "-D wext" as post linux kernel 2.6.13 the wpasupplicant driver type for ipw2200 chips is wext (inbuilt wireless api). This tripped me up when manually configuring my laptop to use wpasupplicant.
