I had this problem also. I have both KDE and GNOME installed. In KDE I was unable to do anything with KNetworkManager--both the right-click and left-click only brought up "Networking is disabled." I switched to GNOME and saw in the panel that networking was disabled. I right-clicked on the indicator and clicked "Enable networking", and now it works.

I don't remember if I had disabled networking in the GNOME Network Manager, but that seems likely.

Anyway, if the GNOME one can enable networking, the KDE one should be able to also. However, I noticed that while the GNOME one has the ability to "Enable/disable networking," the KDE one only has "Enable/disable wireless." Is the KDE one missing this functionality altogether?
