Plasma 6 Upgrade - NetworkManager frontend missing

After the Plasma 6 upgrade, I seem to have lost the NetworkManager KDE applet. This formerly resided on my taskbar and has disappeared both from there and the application menu. I have different network configurations that I use from time to time and the ability to switch easily is why I use NM.

Another minor issue: What happened to the screen in System Settings that allows you to set whether or not to autologin after logging out from Plasma?

Is nm-tray installed?

But Plasma also have its own network applet if needed…(via add widgets)

Plasma doesn’t use nm-tray.

I did the upgrade this morning, and my NetworkManager plasmoid is working just fine.

plasma6-nm is the actual package that contains the plasmoid.

It turns out plasma5-nm was not updated. I used Yast to install plasma6-nm and uninstall plasma5-nm and now things work fine. Thanks @sfalken. Now all I need to do is find out what happened to the login settings.
