Comment(by robot101):

 Thanks Dan, this makes things significantly easier if we can run with this
 method. Presence service already listens to Network Manager for the IPv4
 address appearing as a way of determining if we're online and its even
 worth trying to connect on XMPP. So, we can just wait for this address to
 appear and inspect it to decide whether we kick salut off, or decide to go
 into XMPP-only mode.

 Two remaining questions:

 1) How do we distinguish between if we have got an address on msh0 from a
 school server, or from XO mesh portal? Can NM export a property to give us
 a hint? Or does DHCP over msh0 /always/ mean School Server?

 2) What happens to this heuristic if we turn off IPv4 and go IPv6 only?
