Bug Description
I have network connection over experimental wimax driver. When it connects to the internet It somehow doesn't update networking status to the OS and applications still believe there is no network connectivity. For instance in Firefox there is menu item File->Work Offline. It stays in offline mode even after the actual network connectivity is there. If i turn this item off then firefox continues to work perfectly. The same applies to Pidgin. It doesn't go online at start, but if i reenable accounts it connects.
In Ubuntu One there is also "Connect" menu item. But it does nothing for me. Probably in opposite to FF and Pidgin it checks connectivity before connecting see that no active connection reported and does nothing.

Hi Sergey,
UbuntuOne uses NetworkManager to query for network status. In case it is installed and running then UbuntuOne checks for connection state. In case NetworkManager uninstalled or otherwise not running then UbuntuOne software does not check the state and tries to connect anyway.
The best way to make this work is to get NetworkManager to support your WiMax driver, I advice you to open a separate bug report (since I could not find one and I don't have the hardware to test this) for NetworkManager providing the info on how the NM should handle WiMax connections.
Since all applications believe that there is no connectivity when NetworkManager says so, then it is possible to avoid such problem by stopping Network Manager: d/NetworkManage r stop
#jaunty:
$ sudo /etc/init.
#karmic:
$ sudo stop network-manager
. In this case UbuntuOne client will not be able to query connection state and will try to connect to the server. If this works you might want to disable NetworkManager startup.
