SUMMARY
On Plasma 6.6.1, the network tray icon on the KDE panel incorrectly shows a
disconnection state when using a network bridge via nmcli.
I tested this with a fresh KDE user profile (default config, no old cache) and
the issue persists.
I booted a previous snapshot with Plasma 6.6.0 that shows correct connection
state.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow the Arch Wiki guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_bridge#With_NetworkManager_2
2. Use nmcli to create a new bridge network that connects directly to your
router instead of using NAT on the host. (Required for KVM, it works fine
without connection issues.)
3. Upgrade from Plasma 6.6.0 to 6.6.1.
4. Notice the network tray icon showing a disconnection state.
OBSERVED RESULT
The network tray icon on the KDE panel shows an unexpected disconnection icon
in Plasma 6.6.1.
EXPECTED RESULT
The network tray icon should show a connected state, as it did correctly in
Plasma 6.6.0.
