I have been trying to get my WCDMA/3G modem up and running for a while now.
Now I think that it works pretty well. I can start it with Gnome PPP and can then read and send emails with Thunderbird and ping different servers etc. But, Firefox on the other hand is insisting on running in offline mode, so i cannot use the web.
Where does Firefox get the information about being offline from, can I prevent/change it?
I use NetworkManager.

Thanks for your support.
