GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 727616
Connectivity check happens too early when dnsmasq is enabled
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:27:14 UTC
If dnsmasq is enabled, connectivity check happens when the device is set up, but before dnsmasq is fully started, so before the actual DNS servers are up. This means NM fails the check.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
