Your network interfaces are not eth0 and eth1, but instead are enp3s0
(ethernet, pci bus 3, slot 0) and wlp2s0 (wireless, pci bus 2, slot 0).
The 'udev' program determines these names for you.  There are various
ways to get udev to use more "normal" device names, but those involve
editing configuration and are best asked on the udev  mailing lists
instead of NetworkManager's.

So back to NetworkManager; do you see any kind of network control applet
in your desktop?  It's usually in the top-right or bottom-right corners
on a toolbar, or in a status area along stuff like the volume control.
If you click that network control applet, what do you see?
