wired tab screenshot

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0

I configured using Yast  using Network Devices--> Network Settings.
My ATL1E card showed up in the "Overview" tab.

I then navigated to NetworkManagement --> Manage Connections and noticed in the "Wired" tab it is empty. The buttons are greyed out and are not accessible. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up wired connection via NetworkManagement in Yast
2. Open NetworkManagement and Manage Connections
3. Wired tab is empty
Actual Results:  
Wired tab is empty and not accessible.

Expected Results:  
Wired tab shows wired connection including up time.

It appears the network is running. However, manually changing to NetworkManager in Yast does not turn it on. Hence no icon.

It will also show the wired connection in the "Wired" tab.


To enable the NetworkManagement plasmoid and icon.

Step 1.   systemctl stop network.service

Step 2.   systemctl --force enable NetworkManager.service

Step 3.   systemctl start network.service

Yes, but this part of the problem is fixed already: yast2 can switch
between them in the most recent submission, see 798348#c43.
