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

[Ryan Waldroop]

I found this bug while searching for a way to disable offline mode in
about:config in Firefox.  Now I realize that Pidgin does the same, and I
have to manually re-enable all 9 of my accounts.

Is there an easy hack for network manager to always report as online?
Simone Tolotti's looks like it will work, but I use WIFI about half the
time, and my cellular bluetooth (bnep0) connection the other half of the
time, so changing my network configuration all the time seems kinda
ridiculous.

Of course, it looks like the best thing to do would be to have effected
programs ping a site first, rather than checking the NM.
