I think it is a bit broader than that. On wireless devices, like cell
phones, some connection managers pretend the device is [still]
connected to the network, even when service drops. So the device seems
like it is always connected, and a loss of the link is not exposed up
the stack.

I don't know if NetworkManager behaves the same way. But I know the
connection managers on WIndows and iOS used to behave that way.
