The NM icon reports the network connection as up and it shows all
attributes, IP adress, device type, mac adress correctly. How can I
test, if NM really thinks that the connection is up? And how can I check
if it is managing (or at least trying to manage) the interface? I have
all necessary information in /etc/network/interfaces.
