The message:
calibre, version 0.7.49
ERROR: No internet connection: Cannot download news as no internet connection is active

the linux box is running Debian Squeeze, network interfaces are brought up by /etc/network/interfaces instead of Gnome NetworkManager. Calibre works fine when the internet is connected via a home router. But when the linux box dial up ADSL directly using pon command, Calibre stopped fetching news and gave the above error message. in the meantime, the command line ebook-convert still works.

I guess it relate to calibre.utils.network.LinuxNetworkStatus(), any ideas?
