I guess we must be talking about _this_ thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/kubuntu-users-archive/msg/5d81b5b6ffdf7306

and another called "internet connection on Kubuntu Hardy" (odd that I can
get a handy link to google if the post's expired off my news server, but
not if I still have it!)

So you have Network Manager uninstalled, and you're relying
on /etc/network/interfaces.

What do you get from:
# route -n
# ifconfig

and what's in /etc/network/interfaces?
