For a long time I had problems on my work computers with Network manager still thinking that it is not connected. And I was really lazy to debug it. But as more and more application take online/offline settings from it, this became more and more annoying.
After some googling I found out that the problem might be in
/etc/network/interfaces file, which is parsed by Network manager. Some
"complex" things might confuse it. Well in my case the complex thing was
calling of some script in post-up. Commenting this out magically fixes
everything. Moving script to /etc/network/if-up.d/ also is not a big
problem, but why the hell the Network manager thing does not tell where
the problem is?
