SUMMARY
I have a static connection on eth0.
I don't use NetworkManager. It's not running.
Network monitor stopped working after upgrade to Frameworks 5.88.
Re-installing networkmanager-qt 5.87 package solves the issue.

OBSERVED RESULT
System monitor plasmoid configuration doesn't show network devices.
In plasma-systemmonitor, "Networks" and "Network rates" areas show nothing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Like with  with networkmanager-qt 5.87 :
System monitor plasmoid configuration shows eth0.
In plasma-systemmonitor, "Networks" and "Network rates" areas show eth0.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0

I found the problem was caused by a new runtime dependency on NetworkManager which wasn't installed.
Same thing with ksystemstats 5.23.4.
No more problem after NetworkManager installation.
Maybe platform specific.

For what I have to say, it's resolved.
Updating status and title, and adding ksystemstats developper for info.
