I have the same problem with some manually configured ppp connection: NetworkManager reports every dependent application network would be down, although there is a fully functional interface having the default route assigned to it. NetworkManager definitly should be able to work correctly even if it doesn't control all network interfaces, otherwise it has not place in the default setup of any distribution - regardingless of being a nice piece of software for trivial cases.
