I confirm this bug. depending on where I connect fromI use both network manager (for ethernet and wireless), and a custom udev script that brings up pppoatm automatically when the ADSL USB modem is connected (aetra modem, ueagle-atm driver - see http://atm.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=UEagleAtmUdevEn). network manager fails to detect that the ppp connection is up, and as a consequence evolution and firefox start in offline mode. yes, this is a nm bug, not mozilla or evolution's. as I sometimes use it, uninstalling network manager is not an acceptable solution for me either. it should just recognize that a ppp interface is up, even if it does not manage it, and set status to online. at most, it could require the user to configure a certain interface as "not managed by nm but valid for online status".
