Well I have just upgraded to kubuntu Hardy which has the fully fledged firefox3 packages.
FF3 starts in offline mode for me when connected via a speedtouch usb modem. I connect to it using pon/poff as NM does not recognize any modem is plugged in.
Habitually I have always closed the NM applet before trying to use pon as kmail will not notice my pop3 account to send mail but will collect via smtp if NM applet is running.
I don't want to remove NM as when I have to use cable or wireless this works well (or at least it did in 7.10 - not in a position to test this for a month or so)
