AFAICS this is the latest version from testing:
$ apt-show-versions -p network-manager-kde
network-manager-kde/testing uptodate 1:0.7~~svn941706-2

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug lan0

#iface lan0 inet static
#       address 192.168.12.2
#       gateway 192.168.12.1
#       netmask 255.255.255.0

iface lan0 inet dhcp
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp


Commenting iface lan0 out doesn't help anything.
