Bug Description

When the Network Manager doesn't detect a connection, even if there is one (such as dial-up, which it does not handle), the Update Manager doesn't allow users to install any updates as it forcibly disables the Install option in the window.

  * UpdateManager/Core/utils.py:
    - fix typo (LP: #615923)
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - when NM thinks we have no network, do not disable the buttons
      because for dialup users NM is frequently wrong and does not
      get that there is a network-connection (thanks to "gambs")

I am well aware of that fix, BUT, that only affects the "Check" button. For some reason, "Install" is still desensitized.
