In parallel there has been some discussions on bug #1404188 about
dropping the usage of network manager backend, even though unlikely in
vivid-overlay unless seen as a bullet proof option.

If you want to try out how that would look like, install the silo 032 on
rc-proposed but _without_ upgrading the ubuntu-touch-session there. Or
if you upgrade ubuntu-touch-session, just move
/etc/profile.d/qt_networkmanager_bearer.sh away and reboot. The silo
includes also some networking bug fixes besides making the bearer
selectable but that's not relevant to this bug.

The reason for keeping network manager bearer has been that with that Qt
knows about switching between 3G and WiFi. If you use only generic
plugin, have both wifi and 3g enabled and disable wifi, QNAM:s fall
dead. Or if you use 3G only and enable wifi, 3G might be continued to be
used. If those problems could be resolved on lower levels for example
(or if they already are, the NM bearer enabling was done over a year
ago), we could switch to the generic plugin.
