"""
>From bug #684953, I learned that NetworkManager has a very nice feature
allowing you to detect network states where you're behind a captive portal and
can't yet access the interwebs.

I doubt empathy uses this already, but if not, it should. It would rock not to
have empathy spamming me about failed connection attempts while I haven't yet
authenticated to the network.
