Comment 312 for bug 191889

I don't understand why there is still an insistense on this bug being an edge case.

There are many situations where NM has to be disabled or ignored. PPP, rutilt, manual configuration (static IP).

I find that relying on an optional component is quite heavy handed.

Work Offline should be a user option. not automatically set up.

Alternativelly there should be an option (not hidden) where the user can check if he/she wants to rely on the NM for connectivity.

Having it always check the NM is missguided. This is a bug.
