[Bug 191889] Re: [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager.

Actually this is not a firefox / nm interaction issue at all ( I have seen
this one, and know how to work around it).

It is purely network-manager failing to correctly manage network devices. It
is more an issue of not having populated device entries correctly and then
not being able to manage them through the various gui tools.

not just a FF issue.
