Nope.. just one session. Without my kludge, It's just like what Daniel Newman etc. have described where the CDMA aircard is a PPP link, and NetworkManager0.6x apparently doesn't track PPP state. If I use wifi, or ethernet, firefox is online. If I don't have a wifi or ethernet connection, and use PPP only, firefox decides I'm offline.

     With the kludge, as I say, nm-applet doesn't show proper status for ethernet or static IP wifi (or PPP) (the machine DOES get online, nm-applet just doesn't show it.) For normal wifi, nm-applet doesn't show the DHCP swirl but otherwise does operate fully (shows access point list, joins access points, shows signal strength, etc.) And, at all points, firefox shows online status as the UNIX gods intended 8-).
