You can connect to your wifi from the console without KDE having started using iwconfig. If the encryption is WPA/WPA2 (which of course it should be) you'll also need to use wpa_supplicant from the wpasupplicant package, which should already be installed.
I haven't done this and I'm not of the exact commands, but this page has some details.
Assumes you know your wifi passphrase, of course.
