As this bug doesn't affect all the users, but only a) those using Kubuntu b) those using a WLAN connection c) those needing a WPA2 key d) or those using a hidden IP these cases being subsets of users lower than 50% AFAICT, the easiest is to do nothing, and asking people who come across that problem to remove network-manager-kde and replace it with network-manager or seek for assistance in either the #kubuntu or #kubuntu-de channel on irc.freenode.net. The probability that most of them will switch to KDE 4.3 soon, as it will be released in a few days and the bug being solved in Karmic (and the developers doing a backport of the network-manager-kde to Jaunty for the kde 4.3 release), it is not really that relevant anymore. As I said previously, the 40+ bug reports open about that problem are either duplicates or are fixed already with the "fix released" tag. Also, removing it from the Remix could break some dependencies, so not a good idea anyway, and the correspondent Gnome package is there already..
