Some of the stuff here looks promising, but it's not exactly what you're looking for.

Anyone with more DBUS experience got anything?
That correct. I have a script that runs during the boot process, so that by the time the tablet is finished the boot process, I am already connected to the network. I do this because I then immediately use another script to start a RDP session and I don't want the RDP session to fail because the network isn't connected.

However, when/if I close out the RDP session, I'd like to be able to use the Nokia like normal without having the connect 'again' to the network manually using the Nokia IC. It would be nice if the Nokia already assumed I was connected so I could use the internet browser etc.

It's not the end of the world for me to simply manually reconnect to the network. But I figured there has to be a way to have a Dummy network accepted by the Nokia. The problem is that I am a Linux newbee (I'm basically using other peoples scripts to do the above listed things), so I am having to learn all this from scratch.
