Yaiks... BT modems are mostlyu sed (I guess :) ) on notebooks, where NM is
almost mandatory to be used (office network, home network, wifi at the airport
and so on) and in cases nothing else is available you (at least me) fall back
to GPRS over BT connection. For the time being I think I stay with 'wvdial and
then fixing /etc/resolv.conf'.

Is there a good way to tell the system that 'there is a connection' so that FF
does not believe to have the need to work in offline mode? (also other apps..)
I think there was a d-bus call that could be issued for this

Great. Thanks for this. Tambet: if you need any help in testing, feel free: I'm
here and looking forward in being able to use this feature ;)
so far NM supports Mobile Broadband, but it's not possible to use it over a BT
connected 'modem'. I think that the upstream discussed 'Modem Manager' might be
of some uise here? (there was some upstream work in trunk, but not in the 0.7
series).
