Here's some more info on this bug. This doesn't appear to be (solely) a
nm-applet bug. Specifically, nm-applet shows the fallback icon whenever
the (buggy) wifi driver (in my case wl) does not report an association;
This commit seems to have fixed this upstream
(http://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-
applet/commit/?id=988e2ce74fdfbd013709498c34d5924d30aed4e3) however the
fix on the nm-applet side is only part of the equation. With it, and
compiling the maverick source package, nm-applet shows the 'no-bars'
icon, as intended.
This is not a sufficient fix, however, as --- for some reason I've not
tried finding yet --- the BSSID is not reported as it should. This is
the underlying reason for this bug and I will report this separately.
Since maverick is still early in the dev. cycle I presume that the
upstream 'fix' wrt to nm-applet will be incorporated before release so
you can close this one.
