KWifiManager missing


I just installed Fedora 8 onto my Thinkpad T30, defaulted to KDE. I've been trying to get my wireless card to work (Linksys WPC55AG), but I cannot find KWifiManager at all, which is what the Fedora docs tell me to do. In addition to not being able to locate this (within software add/remove and previously installed), the Network Device Manager doesn't load when I try to run it. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can alleviate it? This is a fresh install, not an update, so it should include the latest version of KDE. Any help would be really awesome.

Is the kdenetwork rpm installed?
To find out use this command. rpm -qa | grep kde
If installed it would be in /usr/bin and called kwifimanager

kwifimanager seems to be missing from kdenetwork in both Fedora 7 and 8; I copied the version from Fedora Core 6, and, with a few links for missing libs, it seems to work.
