--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
When I follow your steps, I get a bridge network without connectivity.
Therefore the icon I'm expecting is a "limited connectivity" icon, not a
"disconnected" icon. That's the bug I can reproduce.

In connectionIcon.cpp, it's hitting the fallback to show a disconnected icon
right above "// Ignore other devices (bond/team etc.)" So the reason why the
widget shows a disconnected icon is because plasma-nm doesn't know what kind of
device this connection is. There's handling for NetworkManager::Device::Bridge
types but apparently the connection isn't being detected as that.

I'm not a networking expert, but clearly you are and you're also competent at
programming. Would you be willing to look into why this bridge network isn't
being detected as a bridge network? If we fix that, I suspect everything will
just start working as expected.
