I have this problem too. I have a "Sierra 597E mobile broadband card". I detect it at boot time via lsusb, and start pppd if I detect it. Works great for me. It did not work with NM. Which is fine. I am happy with what I have now (boot scripts and shell aliases).

HOWEVER:

Firefox 3 thinks that I am offline despite the obvious default route etc.

I basically would be happy if I could just turn OFF the offline mode forever. I do not really need it. If I am offline, I do not start Firefox.
