[Bug 191889] Re: Firefox's new "Offline Mode" feature cannot properly detect when there is a valid network available for use in many circumstances

[Matt Brannock]

On a whim, I once again tried connecting to my CDMA connection via
bluetooth using NM-applet-->Dial-Up Connections-->Connect to 1xevdo via
Modem. This time, it worked! However, NM still does not recognize that
it does not have a connection, and thus applications such as Firefox
continue to start offline. I have attached the relevant syslog from a
connection using this method, and a corresponding disconnection. NM
seems to be giving a warning that it cannot activate the dial-up
service, even though the connection is successful.

Is there a way to have it provide more verbose output about why this
fails, and is it the cause of my problem?

I have also attached my /etc/network/interfaces file, as well as the
scripts located in the /etc/ppp/peers directory I use to connect.
Normally, I use "sudo ifup ppp0" to connect via bluetooth, and usually,
the NM method above does not work (though it seems to be now).

I would like to get this sorted out, please let me know of any
additional information which I could provide.
