[Bug 82335] Re: network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device

[Martin Bergner]

This is also a problem, as network manager doesn't handle WPA2 phase 2
properly and I need to use wpa-supplicant in order to access the wlan at
my university. Tthe "if link is up, don't report offline" would work in
this case.

Maybe networkmanager should receive all network connections as in
ifconfig -a and set offline if and only if only loopback is up.
