Wifi monitor - KDE

Question

If I remember correctly, when I first installed arch linux on my Lenovo T61, there was a wifi monitor widget in the system tray (of KDE).  In any case, there is none now.  (I may have accidentally hit 'Exit' or 'Close' in its menu, I don't know.)    I haven't been able to find such a widget -- installed or not.  i'm probably missing something obvious, but I need a pointer.  Thanks.

You can also have a simple Conky WiFi monitor on your desktop such as
${exec lspci | grep "Network controller" | cut -c29-51}${alignr}
signal strength ${wireless_link_qual wlp2s0}%${alignr}
${wireless_ap wlp2s0}${alignr} ${addr wlp2s0}
up ${upspeed wlp2s0}${alignr}down ${downspeed wlp2s0}
${upspeedgraph wlp2s0 32, 100}${alignr}${downspeedgraph wlp2s0 32, 100}
total ${totalup wlp2s0}${alignr}total ${totaldown wlp2s0}
