You can mark to all KDE programs that you are online using the command below:

qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus
org.kde.Solid.Networking.setNetworkStatus Solid 4

The networkstatus module has native support for NetworkManager and Wicd. When
one of those are installed it can automatically detectet if the computer is
online or offline. The same is true if it has been compiled against ntrack
library, which in this case make NetworkManager and Wicd support redundant
since ntrack works with any network interface, not only the ones managed by
NetworkManager or Wicd. But enabling ntrack support in networkstatus is
distributions' decision.

Another thing: the rule for KDE developers that use networkstatus (that
includes Solid::Networking::status() API in kdelibs) is to check network
connectivity, if the return value is "Unknown" then mark the system as online.
So either akonadi is not following this rule or the network management software
(wicd or whatever Debian use) is marking the system as offline. Please send me
the output of command below:

qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus
org.kde.Solid.Networking.Client.Status

A couple of years ago I fixed a problem in solid-networkstatus regarding
network connectivity and ntrack-15 is buggy (it always mark system as offline).
What is the version of the kde-runtime package installed in your computer?
