It seems like a fix was released for NetworkManager a few months ago, when can we expect it to be released into the Ubuntu repositories?

It's not too much of a problem since the connection is established and working, but it renders the wifi-strength icon as if it was receiving maximum signal strength. Restarting the network-manager with: "sudo systemctl restart network- manager.service" solves the problem. Not sure if it is related, but i am also affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1589401 Even after upgrading to: network-manager-gnome:amd64 (1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3) on 2016-06-19 Let me know if there is any complementary information i can provide.
