[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#502371: network-manager mark my network as down while it's up

[Obi]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: minor


Hello,

thanks for bringing network-manager to debian :).

I have a minor issue that I discovered today. I usually don't have
different profiles in my networking, I just set both wireless and wired
(I'm on a laptop, a Lenovo x200) on roaming. But today I needed to set a
static IP on the wired network, since I was where no DHCP was present. So
I setup a different profile and set the static IP for the wired: when I
set to use that profile, I do get the network, but nm-applet and
everything (I assume listening on dbus) claims I"m still offline. Network
works, and I can switch between profiles succesfully, but I have to tell
everything (epiphany, liferea, evolution etc ...) that I'm online since
they don't understand it.
