Not sure that QtBearer is being understood.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/bearer-management.html

QNetworkAccessManager and friends (QNetworkRequest, etc) use bearer
management for starting and stopping connections when needed and if
allowed by the system.

QtNetwork / Bearer Management cannot be made to use connectivity-api.
connectivity-api is much too simple. There is no way to control the
interfaces and start a connection (wifi/mobile data, etc) to be made
when a network request is made and there is no existing connection.
There is no way to get list of network configurations/wifi API's, etc.

The only realistic solution I see is to either only use generic plugin
or completely compile out use of bearermanagement (QtBase configured
with —no-feature-bearermanagement)

This way, people using QNetworkAccessManager and friends (QNetworkRequest, etc) (if that is even allowed by apparmor, I'm not too knowledgeable about what's allowed and what is not) to GET and whatnot will not be depending on QtBearerManagement and NetworkManager dbus API.
Developers won't be mislead that they will have a fully working bearer (generic plugin has many issues in regards to a fully working bearer).

Title:
  QNetworkSession::isOpen() always returns false

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using QNetworkSession::isOpen() in confined apps on a phone running
  vivid always returns false. This might be an apparmor thing, however,
  I couldn't find any REJECTED entries in log files.

  The test app in lp:~mzanetti/+junk/nmsessiontest can reproduce the
  issue. Open this project in ubuntu-sdk's qtcreator and run it on a
  vivid device. Press the button and watch the debug prints.

  On a vivid-desktop or a RTM based phone it will print "all is well".
  On a vivid phone however, it'll print "network session not open..."

  This used to work fine at least back in utopic images.
