wireless dataengine required by WiFi
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is the script required by WiFi plasma applet. You must install it first, otherwise the wireless applet won't work
Installation instructions - README
This script is required by WiFi applet (http://bit.ly/wifi-plasmoid)
To install, issue the following command
plasmapkg -t dataengine -i wifi-engine-1.0.plasmoid
Known Bugs
-On some systems (Arch, SuSE, possibily others) you have to manually change the path to the iwconfig executable at line 40 in ~.kde/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/pywifi-engine/contents/code/main.py
-If you note high CPU usage, edit line 19 in the above main.py, setting setMinimumPollingInterval to 333 or higher
Both these bugs will be fixed soon. Thanks for reporting them

The CPU issue can only be related to the update frequency. Edit line 19 of ~.kde/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/pywifi-engine/contents/code/main.py
Change from
self.setMinimumPollingInterval(33)
to
self.setMinimumPollingInterval(333)
This should go, but I have not tested it myself

unfortunately too much, the fan of my laptop seems always busy when i run the plasmoid, that's why i can't use it.
maybe it belongs to python or qt librarys..

~/.kde4/share/apps/plasma/dataengines/pywifi-engine/contents/code/main.py
the code now looks like this:
blob = commands.getoutput("/usr/sbin/iwconfig " + interface)
