Public bug reported:
16.04 amd64.
The applet icon in the status area shows the opposing vertical arrows
(Wired) symbol rather than the classic WiFi radiating symbol after
adding a Wifi Access Point Hotspot, enabling it, having it fail to start
(see bug #1579512 "Hotspot Access Point mode fails for 802.11a (5GHz)
band"), and the system automatically reconnecting as a WiFi client to
the local AP. The system doesn't even have a wired Ethernet interface.
