Bug Description
Software Center shows "No network connection" warning when there are actually a network connection.
It probably relies on Network Manager for it. But I don't use Network Manager. In the past six years, it never worked for me. Not when I was on dial-up, not when I used DSL, not when I use wireless now.
Can Software Center take more smart approach, and actually try *using* network. If that fails, it should properly handle errors.
Because when there is no network connection, but Network Manager tells it is there, you should properly handle errors anyway.

Not sure if this is the same bug but I've noticed that this message is always displayed when trying to install a .deb file (which will presumably not have an entry in the Ubuntu review database).
