Just wanted to add some points here.
AFAIK, network-manager (and network-manager-kde) are maintained separately
by Michael Biebel. The version of network-manager (+ nm-kde) in sid is very
unstable. Many a times it doesn't work. VPN plugin doesn't work.
I've noticed that it has been in sid for some time now. And am not sure what
the criteria for it is, to enter testing. IMO, it shouldn't enter testing.
The current network-manager (0.6.6) and network-manager-kde (qt3 based), in
testing, are pretty stable and good.

This is a very good point ModaX has put. I usually have a separate user
account handy, where I test certain behavior, before being sure it is a bug
(be it upstream or debian related).
Please try it before reporting any bugs. It helps a lot.
