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

[Simone Tolotti]

I've found how to bypass the offline issue.
Configure the wired connection disabling "roaming mode" and select static IP, you could use IP adress like 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0.
After reboot NM is switched to online and you can use all the applications that take care of nm status (FF-3,pidgin,evolution, etc.).
Unfortunately after disabling roaming mode the connect/disconnect menu items in nm-applet disappears.
You could manage your dialup connection (if you have one) with "sudo pon ppp0" and "sudo poff".
