Comment 256 for bug 191889

Glad to hear a firefox fix will appear soon. Using ppp with knetworkmanager is a big improvement and it would be nice to remove the eth0 eth1 descriptions from my interfaces file to let nm look after them and show the online status on the task bar - this would be possible, once ff3 is fixed, if it were not for the fact kmail is affected by the same issue. As I mentioned previously I can send but not receive mail if nm is running and I am using ppp unless my interfaces file says my eth interfaces are dhcp (or I would guess a fixed ip). In this case mail (and ff3 work) but the task bar nm icon always shows a cable network connection and does not indicate the ppp state.
Please don't give up on nm just because ff3 gets to work properly
Thanks for your efforts on ff3 alexander
