I like to reboot to know that everything is going to come up 
fine after a reboot. I have Been caught out with that 
before. Settings that only work for the initial session, 
that do not work after the machine is rebooted.

Originally NetworkManager was not running. I started KDE and 
I could not connect to the internet. The NetworkManager 
displayed a red cross on the ethernet icon and right 
clicking on it told me that NetworkManager was not running. 
So I assumed I had to run NetworkManager to get my eth0 card 
working.

Do I need NetworkManager installed and running to connect to 
the internet?

Kind Regards
