This is also a problem, as network manager doesn't handle WPA2 phase 2 properly and I need to use wpa-supplicant in order to access the wlan at my university. Tthe "if link is up, don't report offline" would work in this case.
Maybe networkmanager should receive all network connections as in ifconfig -a and set offline if and only if only loopback is up. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/bugs/82335 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
