[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#579679: network-manager: /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf should have diferent value

[Bruno Miguel]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal

The file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf has the [ifupdown] field
set to false. This causes nm-applet to think it's disconnected and, because of
that, some Gnome apps don't connect to the web. Two examples are Empathy and
Pidgin. Only after changing the value to true and restart Network Manager I was
able to use them.
