[Desktop-packages] [Bug 577297] Re: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface
All it displays currently (and will, until we use something other than nm-applet) is what device currently has default route. Setting to Triaged / Wishlist, and reassigning to indicator-network so that we can eventually get this to work, but it seems to me like it will at least need: 1) code, and 2) enabling connectivity checking in NM. ** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) = indicator-network (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Wishlist ** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577297 Title: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I'm using network-manager with DSL.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 577297] Re: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface
Mathieu asked me to look at this bug report. I think it's straightforward that the purpose of the menu title is primarily to let you know whether you are connected to the Internet, and secondarily to tell you what kind of connection you're using. (I'd written similarly in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#Title: The title of the menu should show the most unusual method by which the computer is currently connected to the Internet, or that it is not connected at all.) Those goals shouldn't be mutually exclusive. The menu title tells you whether you are connected or not if you are using wi-fi, so it's totally reasonable for it to tell you whether you are connected or not with a wired connection too. It shouldn't be difficult to produce a wired disconnected icon, though it might be necessary to fix bug 532522 at the same time. (If no-one is available to provide icon artwork, let me know and I'll submit a request to Canonical's visual designers.) ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577297 Title: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I'm using network-manager with DSL.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 577297] Re: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface
Wired and DSL are both wired connections. This makes it impractical to display the connection status as an icon if you have multiple wired connections. Marking as Incomplete -- there's just no simple way to fix this, and I certainly can't think of a way to show DSL as an icon that would be different from wired and still look good (and avoid confusing users). I'd like to involve the designers in this if there's any work to be done there. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577297 Title: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I'm using network-manager with DSL.
