I don't know if it is intended or not, but NM works fine in KDE (I am 
using an up to date FC4 - I have yet to try FC5).

In addition to running both the NetworkManager and 
NetworkManagerDispatcher services, you will need to manually start 
NetworkManagerInfo which should display an applet in your panel's tray. 
There may be other ways of doing this in KDE, but that's what I have to 
do with the version I'm using [1].

However, since it sounds like (from what others have said in reply so 
far) your card is not (yet) supported, you will have little to no 
functionality in the NM applet.

[1] I can't upgrade to the latest NM because it requires a newer DBUS 
which requires a newer Glibc - and you know how messy that can get ;-). 
So I figure I'll get all that less painfully with FC5.
