Title:
The network manager app icon shows it disconnected when it is
successfully connected to wi-fi
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The network manager application indicator shows the computer as
disconnected from the network even though it is successfully connected
to a known wi-fi network and can access the internet as normal. This
happens in Unity 2D.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a Unity session in range of a well-known wi-fi network,
2. The computer connects to the wi-fi network but the application indicator
stays greyed out,
3. Start a web browser,
4. Go to any URL in the browser to confirm that internet access works,
5. The browser displays the content of the URL.
Expected behaviour:
In step 2, the application indicator's status should be consistent with the
connection status.
