I am running xfce4, so I do not see such
widgets on  the panel.
I thought there should be an executable
binary named knetwormanager, which
I see mentioned in some blogs.
Reason I wanted to use it is because I was
told by a kde apps developer that knetwork
manager shows "....The signal strength of each network is
indicated by a series of bars, each one representing 10%."
That is useful to me so I can see at a glance how my wifi
is doing.
