Mateusz, if you don't use network manager, please stop it and stop it
starting automatically at boot. You can do that with the "rcconf"
console application. Also, you should be able to use network/modem
manager. Are your issues covered by bug #848164? If not, please open a
new bug report.

Adolfo, you are mixing this fixed bug with bug #926763.

Title:
  USC relies on NM to be online, can't force online if not using NM

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Much like Firefox and Evolution, USC relies on knowing the system is
  online via Network Manager. If NM is 'offline' (e.g. disconnected from
  wired and not associated with any wifi access points) then USC will
  not show reviews and will disable the Install button.

  This is fine if you use Network Manager to get online. If you have to
  use something else (for example to use pppoe) then you will not be
  able to install apps in USC, or read reviews.

  Other applications work around this by providing a 'Go online' option
  somewhere in a menu. For example Firefox has the 'Work Offline' menu
  item in the "File" menu which becomes ticked when network manger is
  offline.

  Perhaps USC could implement a similar feature?
