Stop network manager if you are not using it and Pidgin should stop
thinking it is not connected. Feel free to use "Convert to a question"

Title:
Pidgin ignores network connection not based on NetworkManager
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When I'm using my ppp (boradband mobile connection) pidgin starts up
without trying to connect and displays 'Available - Waiting for
network connection'
Choosing offline, waiting for a few seconds and then choosing
available forces a connection attempt, and successful operation.
I'm guessing this is a similar issue to the problem in firefox going
to offline mode (bug 191889) because there's a switch hooked into
networkmanager which is incorrectly saying there is no network
present...
Not sure whether this is something that should be changed in pidgin to
look elsewhere for network connectivity, or should be forwarded onto
networkmanager...
