Comment 25 for bug 269329

I personally believe that the priority for this bug should be higher.

Many users around me see this as a bug. Presently it seems necessary to deactivate or remove the Network Manager in order to connect to internet through many modems and mobile phones. Without removing or deactivating NM, then Firefox and Evolution start in off-line mode even if ppp connections are active - since NM reports an erroneously condition through dbus.

A transitional solution would be smoother integration with the ppp graphical tools. This is necessary because the demand for mobile connectivity increases all the time and comprises bluetoot, 3G phones, modems and other new services.

Could you give us some hints on how to improve NM to integrate som graphical ppp tweaks?
