Same (similar) problem here.
I guess it's the same problem for all bug-reports reading "waiting for
network connection". The reason is network-manager.
As I have a imobile computer using wlan I don't use network-manager,
because the log-in to the wireless LAN only appears on per-user base.
Network-manager seems to think that there is not (W)LAN-connection and
reports this to gaim and also liferea. This is probably ment as a
feature, but network-manager seems to mis-behave here.
