[Bug 856504] Re: Software Center shows "No network connection" warning when network connection is actually established

[tylerwatt12]

I installed using x86 Alternate because GUI setup would crash and not complete install.
After i booted first time after using Alt, disk. i noticed that the internet would work but Network Manager and Software Center would not show an Internet connection. After a reboot the entire internet connection didnt work, no IP nothing. I modified /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to Managed=True, because Network Manager said Device Not Ready (AR5007). The internet worked afterwards but the Network Manager still showed disconnected. Same thing with Software Center

Title:
  Software Center shows "No network connection" warning when network
  connection is actually established

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Software Center shows "No network connection" warning when there are
  actually a network connection.

  It probably relies on Network Manager for it. But I don't use Network
  Manager. In the past six years, it never worked for me. Not when I was
  on dial-up, not when I used DSL, not when I use wireless now.

  Can Software Center take more smart approach, and actually try *using* network. If that fails, it should properly handle errors.
  Because when there is no network connection, but Network Manager tells it is there, you should properly handle errors anyway.
