Again, when it comes to network settings, there is nothing to expose over dbus. systemd and NM have this obscure concept of a "system being online" but it is nothing more than a simple ping fedoraproject.org. This test fails in many legitimate cases which makes it useless...
Are you referring to NetworkManager's connectivity check? Because that checks to see if http://www.archlinux.org/check_network_status.txt returns the body content "NetworkManager is online", see /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf and NetworkManager.conf(5) for details. It is a pretty robust check, unless archlinux.org is offline or banned by a proxy/filter. -- Eli Schwartz
