You should get a job as a software tester! Like me, you have a knack
for finding things that don't work.
Or, perhaps you simply have a run of bad luck.
IIUC, your eth0 port is working correctly, but KDE4 doesn't find it.
I had this problem. I installed the widget and nothing was listed in
the "Network Interface" list window. I was going to try to trouble
shoot it and when I got around to it, it has started to work. Now it
works and I don't know what, if anything I did. :-)
It is a strange irony that when KDE/Linux was harder to setup, it was
easier to fix problems. Now, this is supposed to "just work" and we
don't really know how it works.
The only thing I can tell you is that KDE4 depends on NetworkManager. I
don't know for sure, but I think that it uses this to find network
connections. This has a daemon "NetworkManager" and it will normally
show as "sleeping" in KSysGuard.
I would first check to see that that process has been started, and if it
isn't, then reinstall the binary for "NetworkManager".
If you installed a Linux or BSD distro, it is really the responsibility
of your distro to do any necessary setup. So, you might try the
relevant distro mailing list.
