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

[antistress]

My father has a RTC connexion (serial modem 56K) and Firefox 3b5 on Ubuntu 8.04, whereas gnome-ppp handles the connexion, and Firefox always starts in offline mode.
I've desactivated network-manager on startup  (from preferences menu) but it didn't fix the problem
Uninstalling network-manager from synaptic solved the problem.

Then for me the solution was :
uninstall network-manager
Make use of gnome-ppp to handle the internet connexion

Note that i've also tried to connect through System>Administration>Network
The connexion was ok but Firefox couldn't make use of it to access to internet
