Oh.  How disappointing.  In this case, I simply relay comments from
others that KDE has a working and useful wireless network configuration
tool.

Another comment in this thread suggests that this may, in fact, be
something that is still in their subversion repository, and not yet
available as part of a released KDE environment.

Anyhow, if KWiFiMangager doesn't work, in what way does it fail?
