Description Jan-Michael Brummer 2013-10-15 18:24:47 UTC 
According to the documentation nm_client_get_primary_connection() should return NULL if there is no default route or the route device is not recognized by NM.

After connecting to the office VPN (through WIFI or ethernet), the above function always returns NULL although a default route is present.

This effects the GNOME shell for example which displays a wrong network status for WIFI.
