The bug is in firefox and evolution. Thunderbird starts off online. this only means that thunderbird does not read online status from nm. the problem is that nm does not recognize network connections that it does not manage, and pretends to be offline even if there is a perfectly working

Do not use asac's ppa nm-0.7 packages!!! They works even worse than 0.6.6 and removing them is not easy (at least for a newbie). Probably packages are very old (20080121) and they really needs to be updated! Foresight : NetworkManager=0.7.0.r3332-0.1-1 Fedora9 :
