Is still have the problem with manually configured PPP links. NM doesn't
detect when this link is online and has created a default route. This
causes important applications like Epiphany, Evolution, GAIM^W Pidgin,
... to stay in offline mode. Very annoying. I have to configure my PPP
link by hand, as I need a custom chatscript to connect to my UMTS based
ISP.

Possible work arround for me: Provide some DBus interface for letting
ip-up/ip-down scripts report the online status of manually configured
devices. Would be some kind of hack, but that short term solution would
drop alot of announces NM currently cause. Additionally such an
interface would have the advantage of being able to extend NM to support
for instance UMTS links by using a more reasonable language than C:
Configuring an UMTS modem involves alot of string processing. C
definitly is not the right language for such stuff.
