Bug Description

I configured my desktop to have a static IP address on my network and I don't let network manager manage the connection. This makes SC seem to think I am not connected to the internet at all and refuses to enable any "install" buttons.

It also says: "No network connection - Connect to the Internet to see more reviews"

It's plainly wrong.

summary: - Won't let me install if network manager is not running
+ Won't let me install if network manager is not managing connection
