I don't know what you mean by "KNetworkManager" but I am running F21/KDE.
I am using "kde-plasma-nm". When I left-click on the Network-Icon in the
systray a dialog is exposed. At the very top are 2 check-boxes. The left most check box
is for turning the WiFi on. I have a desk top with wifi and wired. To the right of the
WiFi is another box with a little airplane. This turns on/off airplane mode. I wonder
if/what the difference is...but since I rarely use the WiFi on this system I've not
spent any time to investigate.
As I remember, turning wifi off will turn wifi and roaming off.
Airplane mode will do that *and* any other wireless connection if you
have it -- bluetooth, GPS, whatever.
Could be wrong, though...
I don't use bluetooth or GPS on my laptop.
