(Get the code!)
I also want to confirm that this is a serious issue.
There is a number of problems following the simple fact that network manager does not see dial-up connections. Not only the ones Petri Pennanen mentions but also another really annoying issue:
network-manager does not let me start my VPN connection when I am "offline" (when I am really online with my huawei e220 modem). The VPN is just greyed out! This is of course a silly problem because I only set up the VPN so that my clients can access their data from outside - and roadwarriors nowadays use 3g modems and not wlan hotspots!
I am sure there are even more issues that the ones mentioned. There really should be a way to let gnome (or network-manager) know my online/offline status when on dial-up. Even if network-manager 0.7 does not make it into hardy there should be at least some kind of workaround...
