Same issue here. Some details

Hardware: HP Pavillion TX2000 series (tx2524ca) laptop
Distro/Version: Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
Theme: Ambience
Icon Theme: Crystal SVG
(have tried other themes)
Encryption used: Yes, WPA2-PSK

Wifi Chipset:  Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN 
Controller (rev 01)
Driver: Broadcom STA wireless driver


I've changed the icon theme a few times. It shows different variations on a 
disconnected  (red x in corner) icon. If I click my network's name, it will 
disconnect then reconnect with console output (but still a bad icon in the end):
** (nm-applet:4782): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb
** (nm-applet:4782): DEBUG: going for offline with icon: 
notification-network-wireless-disconnected
** (nm-applet:4782): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb

If I connect to my VPN, it connects and then we end up with a VPN lock
icon over the "network disconnected" icon, which is AFAIK not really
even possible unless perhaps the VPN was on localhost...

Despite the "disconnected" icon, I am able to browse normally (using it to 
write up this report) and hovering over the icon gives:
"Wireless network connection 'mynetworkname' active"


I should note that my other machines don't seem to have this issue, so perhaps 
it's related to some weird output from the driver, but I'm not sure how to get 
more debug info on what exactly nm-applet isn't parsing correctly.

I'll try and dig up a liveCD to see if perhaps it'll load the STA driver
from that and give similar results, or if perhaps it's an issue with
this install.
