Addon: there's another quirks with dial-up (see Bug #293139): nm does not report "online" to apps if a dialup connection is established. Found also no good way to force online e.g. by dbus-send while the dev-list mentions that nm-0.7 may fix this. Because in kubuntu/intrepid, the bluetooth support is really rotten this is no option for my netbook.
As a temp solution (until kubuntu jaunty or so), you can add "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" to /etc/network/interaces which removes eth0 from network-manager (verify this by starting "nm-tool" on cmd line). In this way nm does not report eth0 status and will stay online even if wifi is disconnected. You loose the display icon switching from [x] to [modem] and the [gray plug] is show if no wifi, but you can use VPN with dial-up as well then.
