First, and my memory is not clear, I think I had a similar problem before I installed my graphics environment. Similar in that I thought my network came up just fine, but I couldn't access it. I've not ever used my "wired" connection on this laptop. As I recall, I renamed my /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.wlan0, and restarted the network. Everything worked fine after that, so I removed my ifconfig.wlan0 file. I use dhcpcd instead of dhcp, but your /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.wifi0 is similar to mine. Second, if this doesn't correct the situation, you may be experiencing something similar to what's documented in the current thread about Network Manager. To troubleshoot I recommend that you stop wifi0, wlan0 and dhcp in a terminal. (If I understand things correctly, stopping wifi0 also stops wpa_supplicant.) Make sure your cable for eth0 is not connected and then restart wifi0 from the terminal. If all works then, it's a matter of deciding when to start wifi0--on boot or after you've started kde. I jumped right to Network Manager and don't know if the drop down menu in KDE starts wifi0 or not. Hope this helps.
