i think this functionality (preventing applications from accessing the internet when knetworkmanager thinks there is no internet) should be disabled completely.
i'm also affected by this bug, and even when knetworkmanagers manages to detect a ppp connection somehow, there will be other methods of connecting to the internet (or a LAN which konqueror can browse) that knetworkmanager doesn't see. btw, on other areas i really like knetworkmanager -- knetworkmanager stops kde applications from accessing the network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
