hi,
I normally access the internet through my tata indicom usb modem. In
fedora10 I go to system-network and activate the modem. Network is up,
email, ssh, http etc all work, but network manager icon shows a red X. So if
I try to run the gui software installer, it says 'no network found'. On
starting firefox and kmail, both go into offline mode because network
manager tells them that there is no network. I have to manually poke them
to get them to work. I demo'd the bug at gnunify, and the best brains of RH
tried to do something. So far no success, but the asked me to post the bug
here so they could reply when fixed.
Check your /etc/network/interfaces file - is there an entry for ppp0? If
not so, create an entry for it. NM checks interfaces file and if doesn't
find an entry it thinks that the interface is not up. It used to happen
for me when I move from PPPoE to direct connection when I switch between
my connection at Chennai (where I have to manually connect through
pppoe) and here.
