Other than avoiding flashplugin errors on upgrade, it would be nice not
to kick the user offline as soon as the upgrade process begins.  The
upgrade takes an hour, I'd have appreciated being able to browse the web
using wifi during it.

Title:
  flashplugin-installer upgrade failed during Oneiric upgrade

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed
Status in “update-manager” source package in Oneiric:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This would affect any user connected to only wifi or 3G (or a VPN) while upgrading. Users connected to wired (which is a considered as a system-wide connection) are unaffected. A release-note text was provided to help mitigate the issue.

  [Development Fix]
  Tested locally in a PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/mathieu-tl/nm/ubuntu) which depends on manually changing the sources.list to point to oneiric, add that PPA (remove any others listed for natty) and running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Version is network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4~mtrudel~nm1; to be 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4.

  [Stable Fix]
  See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/network-manager/lp859373/view/head:/debian/patches/lp859373_upgrade_policy_fix.patch?start_revid=375.

  [Test Case]
  Run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' from a newly-installed Natty system after changing the sources to point to Oneiric. (will require making sure oneiric-proposed is enabled)

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low. The missing policy is only in use on the Natty system with the natty version of NetworkManager running while the upgrade is being done; after the upgrade complete and NetworkManager (or the system) is restarted, that policy is no longer referred to.

  Upgrade failed as the flashplugin-installer package failed to upgrade.
  I suspect this was because the network was unavailable at this point
  in the process.
