The nm-applet is the applet that runs for your wireless card and your
network cards. I think you should be able to give your login password if
it asks.

In KDE, there is also a KDE Wallet that manages various applications
that require your authentication. I just set it to use the same password
as my login password.

The power off or logout buttons are applets that you can add. Right
click on the panel and choose "Add applet to Panel ..." and select
"Lock/Logout Buttons" applet.

Regards.
