[Situation]
I use a dial up connection via mobile phone (cell phone modem) as Internet connection.
Built by Gnome-PPP (gnome-ppp), because the modem manager (modem manger) since Natty is no longer able to reliably detect my modem and connect accurately and reliable.
The Network Manager in recent versions (and current) does not recognize any of Gnome-PPP (package gnome-ppp) established connections.
This causes different side effects in the following packages:
- Update-manager:
[Expected] Download and display the change log of the selected update
[Bug] Change-Log of changes on upgrades can not be downloaded because the response of the network manager does not indicate a current network connection.
However, the actual updates are downloaded and installed correctly.
- Evolution:
[Expected] connection, review and download e-mails when new ones are available.
[Bug] Evolution automatically goes into offline mode, since the response of the network manager does not indicate a current network connection.
From offline mode can not be manually switched to online mode from the main menu either.
