I'm using the same versions.

I didn't do a complete reboot - I tend to only do that for kernels - but I 
have now.  Now, when I click on the network icon, my network is not listed.  
If I click on the icon and select Connect to Other Network it offers me my own 
network, but follows it up with a message "KNetworkManager Wireless Network 
Disappeared".  'iwlist wlan0 scanning' tells me that there are no scan 
results.

I know the router is behaving itself, as this laptop is using the same 
wireless connection.  Basically, knetworkmanager seems to now be behaving the 
same way as NetworkManager-gnome :-(
