Reboot your computer. If everything was successful, and your LAN cable is plugged in, your KNetwork icon (globe icon in the toolbar) should now be green.

Configure connection

  1. Right-click on the KNetwork icon
  2. Go to New Connection > eth0
  3. Click "Next" (most connections do not have manual IP configuration)
  4. Type a name for the connection (e.g. "LAN")

Now your network card should be working, and will autoconnect on startup. You may need to configure the connection for each user account.
