Package: network-manager
Severity: normal
In Force-online-state-with-unmanaged-devices.patch, status is forced
to online when there are unmanaged devices which status are up. This
would confuse users who have local bridges (for VMs, containers, etc)
while disconnected from real network (ethernet, wifi) because
nm-applet shows an ethernet connected icon.
Shall we improve the patch by excluding some types of devices like
bridges, infiniband? Or can we drop this patch completely?
Cheers,
Aron

I don't think so. It's better to err on the safe side, and signal online
state (even if we don't really have it) and let applications fail to
connect then to signal offline state and applications not even trying to
connect as a consequence.
Regards,
Michael
