If a WiFi connection is available then the WiFi symbol is displayed and if an Ethernet connection is available then the Ethernet icon is (correctly) displayed but if neither is available (WiFi switched off and cable unplugged) then the Ethernet icon is still displayed. * With the above, the reconnection is fixed. [ Fix ] * When there is no active main connection or it uses a device type we do not handle, the indicator icon and its visibility depend on the global connectivity. * However we currently don't update the icon on connectivity changes, with the result that we sometimes show the fallback connection icon when the network is in fact disconnected. * To fix this, update the icon whenever the (global) connectivity changes. [ Test Plan ] 1. Connect to wifi, see the wifi icon 2. Disconnect wifi from the menubar, see the ethernet icon pops in 3. Do it again with the fix: no ethernet icon pops in 4. Reconnect wifi, see the icon transitioning to connecting -> connected. [ Where problems could occur ] * The _updateIcon is now called more often than before, not less, so more frequent icon updates can be expected, but only when they are actually relevant thankfully.
