There is a way, but it has become harder with every release. - Intrepid: enter something in the "away cause" field, pidgin will connect - Jaunty: stop NetworkManager while pidgin is running - Karmic: /sbin/stop network-manager before pidgin is started This bug has been annoying as hell before, but restarting network-manager on Karmic does not work reliable.
