Now, like for all the other bug reports, I don't have network-manager (and I'm not interested in it), so I can't test. Maybe there's a bug and people should be able to override the offline mode even when using network-manager (though imho the whole point of NM is to give it your network keys and let it do what it want, if you don't like it, don't use it at all). But I have no way to check, so your best bet is to open the bug *upstream* (there's now a text asking for that when using reportbug), so you can explain exactly the wanted behavior and argue with them (check before if there's no upstream issue already opened, though) Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
