I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my laptop. I connect to a
"Wireless connection", provided by my hostel. It devices connected to
the wireless connection have to access the web through a proxy.
Everything works fine, and I am able to use access the web without any
hindrance. But the Network status icon shows that I am connected to a
"Wired Connection" , although I have connected to a "Wireless
Connection".
It doesn't show any name of the connection it is connected to, also when
network symbol is pressed it neither show the available wireless
connection nor the Wireless connection it is connected to.
When I see through System Settings it shows I am connected to a
"Wireless Network", which is shown in the screen-shot. I do not know why
the icon shows I am connected to a "Wired Connection".
How do fix this problem ? Now I am unable to determine the Strength of
the wireless connection easily,as I have go to System Settings each time
to see the strength of the connection.
