Need to configure ethernet interface and can't figure out how

[evans62]

Without a KNetworkmanager (I can't seem to find it ) I have to configure my eth0 using Konsole. What am I doing wrong?

brian@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig -a

Re: Need to configure ethernet interface and can't figure out how

But I can't get into administrator mode, I don't have an option to do that. And under Network Settings, the only things I can change are Connection Preferences (with a bunch of useless settings inside of it), Proxy, and Service Discovery. There's no option to configure Interface. If I need to install KControl, can you walk me through how to do that without an internet connection in Kubuntu running.
