It would be very nice to know if Internet is reachable or not.
It could be done by pinging a server or a server from a list.
(of course there is a risk of dos attack, running up the bill, etc)
But, today, at least ubuntu _always_ uses ntpdate to update the time,
each time I connect to the Internet. can't you integrate this into NM?
Probably time is updated only once at connection, but still this at
least will show if connection is active.
Plus, you could add an 'optional' setting to ping a user specified
server at, user specified interval. (disabled by default)
What do you think?
Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
