I haven't changed it. However, all of a sudden wireless is working in
KDE. I did nothing. Must be one of those passing quirks. I didn't
even "get out of the car" (reboot), though I have been dwelling in both
Gnome and XFCE since I stopped trying with KDE. Now I'm running KDE
again and wireless is working.
Thanks for all the help and comments...
