WIFI Widget (on task bar) not working after Upgrading to KDE 4..13.3

[James R McKenzie]

This latest "upgrade" for KDE is turning into a nightmare.

The WIFI widget in the task bar won't load therefore all it shows is a red square and a white X in the square. A little more upgrading and I won't be able to use the damned computer a all. 

Any ideas on what's up with the WIFI widget? BTW the WIFI goes to sleep after a while and I have to physically unplug the dongle then plug in back in the restart it. What the hell is going on with thus stuff!? It's literally not possible to over react to this! 

Any/All help will be appreciated.
