    I was wondering is there a way to add a network icon to the panel, so if you want to bring of the network settings you could click the icon like in Plasma desktop?

    Please define "network settings".

    There's no nm applet and i'll personally unlikely gonna write one (i don't like nm, using netcfg ;-)

    You can contact the nm daemon through dbus and could write a bash script to build a menu from that resp. a GUI client an bind that to a button.

    Yes the actuall network settings from system settings. Could you site some examples of what you described, I am not experienced in writing bash scripts.

    Ok, that would be some kcm likely to be shipped with nm, resp. the plasmoid

    just bind "kcmshell4 networkmanagement" to the button Exec
