I use knetworkmanager to configure my network interfaces.  Any monitoring that 
it is capable of is in my opinion a secondary function.  It does a pretty 
good job of connecting me to known wireless networks, and seemlessly switches 
me to wired if it is plugged in.  After a quick glance at the knemo web page, 
it appears to be primarily a monitoring application.  I use gkrellm for 
monitoring so I have not tried knemo.
