connecting... problem

The suggested connecting... problem's solution isn't helpful. It assumes that system connect to network after timeout seconds but on my system I have to unlock KDE Wallet before I can connect to internet. In that case any timeout is not helpful. The old script should be reposted.

start_dropbox() {
PAR=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))
OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PAR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

TMP1=$(ps ax|grep dropbox|grep -v grep)
if [ -n "$TMP1" ]; then
        kill -9 $(pidof dropbox) >/dev/null 2>&1

exec $PAR/dropbox $@ &

do_dropbox() {
start_dropbox >/dev/null 2>&1
while [ 1 ]; do
        sleep 5
        ERROR="$(net_test)"
        if [ -n "$ERROR" ]; then
                LAST_ERROR=1
        else
                if [ -n "$LAST_ERROR" ]; then
                # Connection seems to be up but last cycle was down
                        LAST_ERROR=""
                 start_dropbox >/dev/null 2>&1
                 fi

net_test() {
