I was just setting up 3G broadband dial-up using the following setup:
- Tether from Intrepid to mobilephone via bluetooth.
- Mobile phone serve as dial-up modem.
- Using wvdial and gnome-ppp.

Once connection is established, I got a ppp0 entry from ifconfig. However, Firefox still starts in offline mode. nm-applet shows an icon wihth exclamation mark, indicating it is not aware of the ppp connection. The internet connection itself is working, once I manually set Firefox to online mode.

I have the Network Manager updated to: 0.7~~svn20081015t224738-0ubuntu1
