Hi Martin, I'm afraid that just like Scott's, my verification failed as well.
After upgrading to network-manager-applet version 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.2, it now shows the fan-like "wifi icon" when WWAN connection is established. The expected icon should be a mobilebroadband-specific icon (the icon displayed in the WWAN "connection established" bubble that pops up when 3G/WWAN connection is established.) Here are my verification steps: ---------- 1. Go to "Software & Updates" > "Developer Options" tab > tick "Pre-released updates (xenial-proposed)" > save changes 2. Perform the following commands: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install gir1.2-nma-1.0 gir1.2-nmgtk-1.0 libnm-gtk-common libnm-gtk0 libnma-common libnma0 network-manager-gnome $ sudo reboot 3. Make sure no network connection (wifi, ethernet, wwan) is connected. 4. Connect to a mobile network and check the icon displayed in network-applet ---------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571574 Title: [SRU] 3G (WWAN) icon missing Status in Network Manager Applet: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-applet source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] In this report we are trying to address several issues network- manager-applet 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 suffers by doing cherry-picks from upstream 1.2 stable branch. By using a 3G WWAN dongle, after establishing a 3G connection, the icon shown in system tray should be a 3G indicator to indicate that 3G is connected. However, in Xenial there is no 3G icon at all. After 3G connection is established, it remains as the previous icon displayed. [Test Case] By upgrading to the -proposed package, the icon shown in system tray should be a 3G indicator to indicate that 3G is connected when using WWAN. [Regression Potential] This update also includes patches targeting other issues which are not related to this bug directly, but all these fix are clear and have minimum changes, chance of regression is limited.
