Good, because there are a lot of complex setups for Linux networking,
and I am 100% sure that NetworkManager doesn't handle them all. I
know you guys are trying your best to work on it, and we all
appreciate it, but I just regret the design decision to utilize NM api
to check networking status in all these applications. It smacks of
M$-like Desktop "integration". Linux users enjoy the freedom to
tinker...
