I have this problem too. I have a "Sierra 597E mobile broadband card". I detect it at boot time via lsusb, and start pppd if I detect it. Works great for me. It did not work with NM. Which is fine. I am happy with what I have now (boot scripts and shell aliases).
HOWEVER: Firefox 3 thinks that I am offline despite the obvious default route etc. I basically would be happy if I could just turn OFF the offline mode forever. I do not really need it. If I am offline, I do not start Firefox. -- Firefox's new "Offline Mode" feature cannot properly detect when there is a valid network available for use in many circumstances https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
