After another upgrade, both started working. I couldn't tell by
looking at aptitude logs what package (if any) was responsible for the
fix, though.

Here's what I did: closed knetworkmanager, installed
network-manager-gnome and ran nm-applet.
nm-applet has a switch called "Enable Networking" which was unckecked.
Checking that re-enabled NM and then I could switch back to
knetworkmanager.

Does anybody know what exactly that switch does, and why there isn't
an equivalent option in KDE?
