This was reported last year, and a just-entered comment states NM will (at least) fully support PPP -- which is an advance. Currently, even if PPP is driven by nm-applet (or knetworkmanager), NM will still not find the PPP up, and report the whole system as offline. On this bug: lets suppose, for the sake of argument, that I have a wired and a wireless interface, and the wired is set to hotplug (so that if nothing is plugged, it is not used). Now, NM should still fully support a hot-pluggable interface, and recognise it when it is driven on. Not supporting it seems sort of silly. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/bugs/82335 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
