Installed the Debian OS ok, then manually installed some 3-4 GB of kde-standard over the ethernet just fine; booted into it and, surprise! internet not working

I can see it under DHCP client list too on the router web GUI, but KDE's "Connections - System Settings" says "never used", and the internet is not accessible.
root@kellian:/home/kellogs# sudo service networking restart && sudo service NetworkManager restart - it does renew the DHCP lease.

enp2s0's connection name also not present in KDE systray list of connections. A tethered phone is present there though.
