[Bug 311968] Re: DHCP very slow and unreliable

[Traumflug]

Unfortunately, after the release of Jaunty, this is still an issue.
Things get worse, as some applications (e.g. Firefox, Pidgin) obviously
trust some hidden notification system on the unavailability of the
network. I can bring up the network as described above and ping
arbitrary hosts successfully, yet Pidgin refuses to connect anyways.

A workaround for the applications is to uninstall network-manager. This
way I can at least bring up the network manually - after each reboot and
after each sleep/wake cycle - and get it recognized by the apps.
