There seems to be something fundamentally wrong in this no-connection/
/offline thing. Since NM can be configured to manage _not all_
interfaces (including none at all) then why are some applications
wrongly assuming NM is always managing the entire network
configuration? This seems to be where the bug lies and should be
fixed.

Is there other buggy applications that people should be afraid of
besides firefox?
