I have hacked network-manager to check every second whether any interface is up or not, besides the loopback interface. It worked perfectly for my ppp connection. Both firefox and pidgin starts up with the proper state, and even get notified when my ppp connection dies.
Comments welcomed. Note that trying out NM0.7 will not solve my problem, as I am using bluetooth DUN and NM0.7 does not supports that yet. Cheers. ** Attachment added: "network-manager-aware-ppp.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17137590/network-manager-aware-ppp.patch -- [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager. 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
