Public bug reported:
(This platform is *insisting* that I say this has to do with the
network-manager-applet package, which does not exist on my system. The
real package seems to be network-manager-gnome.
I'd file another bug for bugs.launchpad.net, but that's way too meta for
me just now.)
nm-applet's icons in the top-right of the unity panel (I think that's
what it's called) often shows incorrect information on the status of the
wifi network.
Specifically, it often shows the ethernet icon when my machine is
connected only wirelessly; or it shows the wifi icon as having *no*
signal strength, when in fact, the signal strength is fine.
The change from correct info to incorrect, or from incorrect to another
kind of incorrect, occurs after waking the machine from suspend.
Logging out and back in, either through the panel system menu, or via
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, fixes it; until the next suspend.
