Yes it's still the case in 9.10. However, one can 'disable networking' in network manager (right click the icon). That way, you could connect Empathy and Firefox won't start in offline mode.
Another thing I'd like to mention is for those who need to connect using a dialup modem on a fresh installation. You could connect using pon/poff commands. Configure your modem using pppconfig and you're good to go. -- network manager doesn't support dial up modems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
