Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc-4.1/g++-4.1 OS: Linux Before all, my KDE is in spanish, so, i try to translate all to english, so, excuse me for my language errors. DESCRIPTION: I go to the Network module of the KDE Control Center (of Internet and Network section). I have two ethernet interfaces: 'eth0' -that are disabled and not configured yet- and 'eth1' -that are enabled and configured via DHCP from my ISP-. So, I switch to 'Administrator mode' and when I select the 'eth0' interface and i click in the 'Configure Interface' the window says 'Loading...' ('Cargando...' in my spanish KDE) and then the crash. Here is the information: Short description: The KDE Control Module application (kcmshell) fails and it causes the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). This is the reverse traced: Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

When I enable the interface manually from a command line as root, for example: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 and then I go again to the 'KDE Control Center' to the 'Network parameters' module and i click in the 'Configure Interface' all works fine, without any crashes. So.. the problem is that the module don't works when the interface isn't configure yet and/or is disabled. Greetings!
