Hi Eric,

Basically we need a way of determining if the network is actually
working and pinging the gateway has been mostly reasonable.  Without
looking, I believe there's a PR about this behaviour.  Maybe you could
submit one if there's not - having two PRs about a problem is better
than having none at all.
