The menu item doesn't fix the problem. As I said before, the moment you
switch to a static IP configuration using network-admin (I even went to
the menu item added), and NM automatically shows that the connection is
disconnected, and liferea/gaim/epiphany goes into offline mode.
Basically, if there are any references of the interface in question in
/etc/network/interfaces, NM would consider that interface to be
disconnected.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Rejected
