From within the <guilabel>Network Connection</guilabel> window there is a tab named <guilabel>Network Interfaces</guilabel>. Hopefully you will see your adapter labeled something like <guilabel>eth0</guilabel>. If there is an issue with the card or the settings, usually the system will automatically disable the card. If the card is disabled, you will see <guilabel>X Disabled</guilabel> under the <guilabel>State</guilabel> column. To enable the device, simply press the <guibutton>Administrator Mode...</guibutton> at the bottom of the window. This will open a password dialog in which you enter your username's password. Once you have entered this mode, simply press the <guibutton>Enable Interface</guibutton> button. If there are issues enabling the device, you will be notified with an error. To see the settings of this device, press the <guibutton>Configure Interface...</guibutton> button. The window that opens will allow you to manually configure your network settings to match your network.
