First enter the iwconfig command without any parameter and
replace eth? in the following cmd with the network name of  a device 
which have wireless extension.
&gt;<i> iwconfig eth? essid you-network-name mode managed

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> *RTFM ie man iwconfig ;) for exact syntax.
</I>&gt;<i> for further investigation have a look at the other iw* tools.

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> the network icon disapeared from the taskbar (KDE)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>     Has not done that here (yet).

</I>please tell us your results/problems (maybe I or others can help you 
further).
