+There's no real settings, but there is a bug in ntrack support [1] in kde-
+runtime causing issue with solid network backend.
+In short initially we were providing ntrack support, however since 4.8 the 
+support seems to be broken solid networkbackend reporting a non working kde.
+Our work around was simply to rebuild kde-runtime (kdebase4-runtime package 
+name in mageia) without it (issue fixed with 
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGAA-2012-0093 ).
+
+In mga #6159 however someone mentionned that issue was still present when 
+networkmanager was installed & *not* used for managing network ( yeah funny :p 
+).
+So i was asking to check that you were not in that case (if so that would be 
+the second case & since i did not find the time to test/reproduce ) & if so 
+i'll disable the nm support in kde-runtime too.
+To check the network solid status you need to use this line :
+qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus 
+org.kde.Solid.Networking.Client.Status
+
+
+The result (when connected) should be 4.
+
+Regards,
