I agree, that this situation is less than ideal (and thanks for the nice writeup). With 0.7 the situation will be better, as NM can handle more different use case (static ip etc.), but the underlying problem still exists. A short term fix could be, to assume the network status to be "online" for unmanaged devices, rather than offline. This way apps wouldn't go into offline mode. What you will get though eventually, is unsuccessful network connection attempts (but that wouldn't be a regression with regard to old ifupdown). Ubuntu ships a patch for exactly that, and I could pull it from there Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
