VPN connection might be a valid reason here. But remember that if NM
cannot manage any physical device, managing a VPN on top of "nothing"
doesnt make sense either.
Anyway, I also see that it might be helpful to still display the
applet, but unless we have a good icon to indicate that the devices
are "maybe-online" and that all is unmanaged, i think that would cause
also confusion.
