I just noticed when testing something that fxpi thinks that it's offline even though it has an internet connection through ethernet. I think gecko is keying offline status off of the wifi and gprs connections only.
Turns out this *should* have been working, but there were two problems 1. We weren't updating the system properties that bionic examines when doing DNS resolution with what was configured in dhcp. The "real bug" there is bug 1087548. 2. Because gecko wasn't configuring eth0, it didn't know that it was actually online. Workaround for that is to disable offline management. Again, "real bug" is bug 1087548. So gecko has no trouble reaching the internet through eth0 as long as you apply the right band-aids ;). Nothing more to do here.
