I'm not sure that knetworkmanager (KNM) and plasma-widget-network-manager (PWNM) has anything to do with each other - only that PWNM should become a more KDE4 like replacement for KNM.
If you uninstall PWNM by "apt-get remove plasma-widget-network-manager", you are able to start the old KNM from cli by executing "knetworkmanager". Running it and creating a new mobile connection witch works fine with my Huawei E220, and I can dis- and enable it as I wish. Of course you need to configure it manually, as the nice guide Ubuntu has isn't avalible in Kubuntu.

So still no luck with PLASMA-WIDGET-NETWORK-MANAGER and mobile devices in my up to date 9.04 Beta.

BTW I tried only to remove the PWNM applet from the panel not uninstalling it, and KNM did work this way too - I guess it do not occupy the DBus then, and thereby keeping KNM form using the same device.
