I can not to install a package because gnome-packagekit answer: "No connection available" - "Cannot install when offline". In this moment I am online because I use the wvdial command to connect and my gprs modem is not supported by nm-applet. In a future I will use it to connect, but for now I need a workaroud to use packagekit to install programs. I was thinking as a File -> Work Offline like in FireFox or Liferea. It is not elegant but it run :( My compliments for your great job!
Already fixed in git master, we fall back to UNIX network detection if NetworkManager is not running or UseNetworkManager=false in the config file. I'll be releasing 0.2.2 in a week or so's time.
Thank you for the reply. I will wait impatiently for release 0.2.2 (In reply to comment #1) > Already fixed in git master, we fall back to UNIX network detection if > NetworkManager is not running or UseNetworkManager=false in the config file. > I'll be releasing 0.2.2 in a week or so's time. >
There is another issue too: sometimes the repository is local (e.g. a yum repository with file:/// url) and so no network connection is required. (For example I've configured my Fedora9 DVD as a repository). But I can't install any packages while NetworkManager is running, while no network connection is required for installing the packages.

You do still need to access the repos to check for newer versions or conflicts. What we have in 0.3.7 is probably optimal.

I don't know about what 0.3.7 does.
