Sure, here goes:
# rpm -q kde-plasma-networkmanagement
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.35.20110221.fc14.x86_64
As far as yum can tell, it is the latest stable package for F14. :-)

Umm, I am somehow reluctant to use test updates before they reach stable. The
nm-applet works around the problem for now, and I'll keep trying the KDE
applet whenever I see any KDE-related update.
The point is that this is my home (production) desktop system, so I don't want
to experiment with packages until they reach stable repo. If this one depends
on some other that is also not stable, I may end up pulling a lot of
dependencies from testing, and I'd like to avoid that if possible. ;-)
Best, :-)
