(not that I like NetworkManager particularly, but > are there specific KDE tools for network management on FreeBSD?) I use a desktop. It's a Lenovo Think Centre, bought it about 3 years ago. Very standard machine: Dual-Core Pentium processor, Intel Chipset, Logitech webcam, canon iP4700 printer (cups+gutenprint driver). I haven't needed to do anything with the network configuration. It was configured automatically and has been fine. A brief look at what's installed shows no particular network management tools to speak off, although there may well be other pkg's one can install for that. As you would expect I had to set up devd but that is simple and fast to do.
