I'm seeing this too. The wonders of launchpad's dup detection lead me straight here by way of another bug when I tried to file a bug against evolution always being offline. I'm using a static IP on a wireless connection. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device htt

Same problem here I think. When I'm at work I use eth0 using dhcp no problem at all. When I'm at home I use eht1 which is my wireless device also using dhcp. Evolution and gaim say that they offline. Gaim I have to go offline/online to get it working. Evolution just going online. -- network-manag

I suffer from this problem also because I use a staticly configured pppoe device. My eth0 is thus bound to 'dsl-provider' and unavailable for networkmanager, causing the session to start in offline mode -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net

Gabriel, this will not work, because what starts with your gnome session is only the notification area icon that allows you to control NM. The NM daemon is still running system-wide in the background. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/b

Just wanted to say I can confirm this. Still happening on my Herd5 Feisty install on a crappy old HP Omnibook 6100. Possible (untested) solution is to go to System-->Preferences-->Sessions and remove Network Manager from the startup items. This will avoid breaking the ubuntu-desktop package by t

Daniel -- yes, this will help people that have only static IPs. Since nm does not deal with it at all, we are all better off not to run it in this case. But it does not help much when we have: 1. both static and auto (for example, a static wired, and an auto wireless) For scenario (1) I can thin

@Onkar, Disabling network manager in your gnome session will not work as that is just the 'notification area' for the network-manager service. To disable network-manager, either uninstall it (which will break ubuntu-desktop package) or do this: Stop network manager sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26Net

We have similar report from KDE users as well: bug 86680. Kubuntu started to use n-m network status recently for KMail and several users complain that due to static connections, n-m claims network as offline (as it does not see the interface at all). For test, I have changed debian/patches/05-debi

About Gaim, you don't need to disable and re-enable all accounts, you can simply set the status to "Available" (e.g. by right-clicking on the notification area icon) and it'll connect. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/bugs/82335 -- u

I think a lot of us have NM installed, whether or not we need or want it installed because ubuntu-desktop depends on it. This problem becomes more and more annoying as more programs check dbus for the network status as set by NM. A quick solution would be to have a script in /etc/network/if-
