If you're seeing the wrong icon in nm-applet, please file *YOUR OWN* new bug report, and write the number here. Me-too's distract developers from being able to understand what the problem is, because many people have slightly different issues that all look similar.
As we understand it, the original bug is fixed, where wireless would be detected as wired on boot. That means it would show the arrows icon, but my other issues can lead to the icon being wrong. Unless you run 'nmcli dev' and see that the wireless device says "ethernet" beside its name, then you are not seeing this here bug and should open a new bug report. If you run 'nmcli dev', and you have wireless that is connected, but also wired or some other network device connected and you see the arrows, then it *might* be expected behavior. Wired networks always take precedence over wireless if both are connected. If you still think it's wrong, please file a new bug, and include the output of 'nmcli dev' and 'ip route'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574347 Title: [SRU] Re-read the link type if the name changed Status in NetworkManager: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] NM needs to re-read the DEVTYPE after the device name changed, an example is that WiFi network list disappears from network manager applet [Testcase] 1. Boot the system. It should include a wireless device. 2. In a terminal, run 'nmcli dev'. 3. In the correct case, the line for the wireless device should read "wifi" under the TYPE column. In a failure case, it will read "ethernet". After upgrading to the new version, the repeating the above steps should give expected behavior. [Regression Potential] Potential of causing regression is relatively small for a one line change to re-read a value to be known. --- Problems:- 1. The network manager applet does not show the list of WiFI APs it can find. 2. The network manager applet does not the name of the AP to which it is connected 3. The icon of the applet shows two vertical arrows in opposite direction - the wired connection symbol and NOT the wifi connected icon. Temporary Workaround:- Log out and again log back in.
