N-M should handle the logic for switching between different networks but in the tray, only one icon should be displayed - the connection currently being used. - Encrypted - Non-encrypted I personally think this more "advanced" information should be displayed when clicking (or hovering - another debate i'm sure) on the N-M icon. My reasoning being that additional states is confusing and a user knowledgeable about wireless security should also know which networks they automatically connect to. > 4. VPNs > 5. Bluetooth threading The case of VPNs is interesting and I don't feel it fits into this connection list since it's another layer on top of an already established connection. In the case that you are VPNing over a wireless network, you would like to see both the wireless signal strength and the VPN indicator. Maybe a second icon on the tray should display once connected. Need feedback here from those who use VPN more than I do. Bluetooth threading? (tethering) is a case which I know little about and others will have to help here as well. >From my perspective I now sit with 4 network connections and 3 states: 1. Wired 2. Wireless 3. Mobile (3G / Edge) 4. Bluetooth Tethering 1. No connection 2. Connecting 3. Connected (Active) Is there a page where we could put some of this icon/state info into so it's a little more organized? -a
