I was apparently mistaken; if you are running NM, it is assumed that it is managing all your interfaces. There isn't a way for pidgin to have a sane default if NM is running but some interfaces are unmanaged. So this bug currently points to an open upstream request to present more information about the "waiting for network connection" error so that it isn't so cryptic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
