At least since 16.04, and probably earlier, upstream have done work on
this. The Vendor and Model/Product strings are processed and common un-
needed words are removed (e.g. "Intel Corporation" becomes "Intel") so I
think this can be marked as Fixed.

Title:
Truncate long device description in applet menu
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
With some network interface devices, nma_utils_get_device_description
could return a very long description string so you'll end up with
awkwardly wide nm applet menu that spans almost more than half of
horizontal area on your screen. On small screen device like laptop and
netbook where screen estate is limited , you don't really want this.
So it'd be a good idea to truncate the desc string if it's too long.
I'm proposing the maximum length for the desc string to be 35
characters before it gets truncated. Also truncation is done in the
middle so we don't lose the info bit near the end of the desc string.
I've prepared a patch for that. Please check the patch file that I
attached.
