(Get the code!)
NetworkManager is not always able to control the network. I.e. if the network is started behind its back (simply because NM can not create it, as with this wimax driver), Network manager appears to be running but it does not detect any network.
When ubuntuone queries NM "Are we connected?". NM says "Nope". And UbuntuOne sits waiting for network connection.
What may be needed, indeed, is to control whether u1 should listen to NM or not. I.e. [ ] Work offline in firefox (you can force it to be online) or gconf key in Empathy that controls whether connection managers should be queried.
Currently if no NM is running then U1 connects anyway; But if it IS running then things get more complicated for networks that were brought not via Network Manager.
