** Description changed: Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS traffic. - Unfortunately, we currently need this because checking NetworkManager's - state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really - online since Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity - check [1]. + Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by + GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time there an ARP entry appears + or disappears. + + Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity + checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is + not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet use + the NetworkManager connectivity check [1]. The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in whoopsie. 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daisy- pluckers/whoopsie/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity.c#L326 Original report follows: Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
