Version: 0.7 (KDE4) (using KDE 4.5.2) OS: Linux KNetworkmanager always reports that the wired connection is unplugged. The wired connection is functioning normally. NetworkManager backend is good. nm-tool reports proper status. Also KNetworkManager cannot edit the connection - IE change from dynamic to static. There are no error messages. The new configuration simply is not applied. nm-connection-editor works properly. KNetworkManager can however see the updated configuration. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Login to KDE. When system tray is loaded the icon always show unplugged Actual Results: shows disconnected Expected Results: show connected Show the actual status. Write configuration changes to the configuration files.
This bug also affects me. When I boot the computer, KNetworkManager says "cable unplugged" and refuses to connect to the internet, even though a cable is plugged in. The problem can be fixed until the next reboot by running { sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; } in the shell. I have attached the output of lspci (lspci), the output of uname -a (uname), pertinent log entries after booting (boot), and pertinent log entries after establishing a connection with { sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; }.
Created attachment 55401 [details] Output of lspci on my computer
Created attachment 55402 [details] Output of uname -a on my computer
Created attachment 55403 [details] Pertinent log files after booting
Created attachment 55404 [details] Pertinent log files after establishing a connection
It seems the Plasma NM's kded daemon is not running. You check that in systemsettings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Service Manager -> NetworkManager User Settings Service.

Editing system connections was implement last month. If commit b050c3cfc7007f6c84173d2fb3793ba8ece737dc fix the problem for you I will close this bug.
I tried the current version of plasma-nm (from master, with nm 0.8.3), but now I can see no icon appear, never. Looking back at Bug 272135. from which this bug continues, I see that I mentioned that after some switching of connections the globe icon started to appear -- I have not been able to see it with the current version of plasma-nm. However, I think that the second problem I mentioned (details disappearing) is somehow better now, but not perfect yet
Is this still happening?
No, using recent git versions the icons appear fine.
