Comment 17 for bug 311581

From what i saw in 0.8.1 this may be possible if you set both ipv4 and ipv6
to come up anyway if there is no address assigned. Could one of you try this
out from a livecd of maverick and let me know if it works for your use case?
I can post more detailed instructions if necessary.

Whilst it sucks that establishing a ppp link is more of a mission than it
needs to be, it sucks a whole lot more that because NM can't tell that the
user is in fact online, it misinforms client applications of an offline
status -- changing their functionality (Firefox won't even try to get a
page; Pidgin won't even let you attempt to go online, etc).

there are some other work-arounds (Firefox has a config tweak, for example),
but the path of least resistance was simply to give up on NM.
