Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
When using a 3G modem, such as a phone tethered over bluetooth, and no other connection is active, network-manager says the system is offline. It appears this is because these connections are typically not controlled by network-manager, so it isn't aware of their precense.

It appears that the GNOME developers are aware of this problem, and are working towards a solution http:// live.gnome. org/NetworkMana ger/MobileBroad band/
While that is promising for the future, it sure doesn't help us now
