I believe this is caused by the startup sequence and a "bug" in nm-applet. On boot, NetworkManager (NM) is started by systemd. When you log in, your desktop session starts nm-applet (it is optional after all). nm-applet queries NM when nm-applet starts, gets the status and tracks it as long as your session is running. On wake up from hibernate, nm-applet picks up where it left off, but it doesn't "check in" with NM so it doesn't know what the status is. I'm not sure how they coordinate (dbus, etc.), but that seems to be the issue. Perhaps NM gets a different dbus identity on wakeup and nm-applet doesn't find out about it. I simply don't know. I do recall that on a previous version I saw errors in the system log that nm-applet couldn't "find" NM for some odd reason. I don't have the records any longer so I can't tell you exactly what it said, but that was the gist of it. IMHO, nm-applet should periodically query NM and, if it doesn't get a response, restart itself. If it still doesn't get a response, then it should pop up an error message about it (e.g. that NM isn't running or some such thing). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - UNIX is actually quite user friendly.
