Comment 20 for bug 755608

the patch initially posted to the bug has the problem that you might get stuck in offline state after you disconnect from VPN ... which isnt that great. my patch (IIRC) ensures that all the netlink caches are properly refilled etc. everytime something changes. Let me know if a) the loop is gone and b) if you are still online after disconnecting from VPN, but keeping ethernet/wifi link up!
