Sorry, I sent that too quickly. The answer used to have slightly more
information but seems to have been edited. What it said before is that
some distros of Linux use NetworkManager to handle network
configuration, but in that case you have to be sure to use NM and not a
manual setup, because if NM exists then Evo believes what it says about
the connection state. The options are either to uninstall NM or to use
it to configure your network.

I've no idea if this applies to your distro, but as you're using KDE
it's just possible that NM is installed but not running.
