Hi there
do you still experience this issue with the current version of the
application?, could you please try to reproduce this using the live
environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron.
Thanks in advance
** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu)
No, I no longer have this problem, but I don't really have the
opportunity anymore to completely reproduce it. I have seen no symptoms
since then, if that helps. Ideally someone should go through the same
steps on such an older satellite laptop. I've now given my old Toshiba
away to a friend.
Hi there
Thanks for your time and feedback, I'm closing this report due your last
comment about not being able to reproduce this issue anymore, if you ever
experience this behavior please file a bug against the new version of the
application, since probably doesn't have much to do with this
Okay, I found others on the Seattle Linux List who also had this
problem. I'll wait still for others to mark this confirmed, but I do
have a stop-gap solution which works:
Alt-F2, nm-applet gets it back... (from one John Locke on the Seattle
Linux List).
Ideally of course this will be counted
It sounds like you have turned of roaming mode for your wireless
interface.
If you want the nm-applet to show connection status and provide the
drop-down list of networks, you have to go into the interface properties
and tick Enable roaming mode.

Gutsy: wireless access manager that worked
Okay, I just did that, but the wireless icon and dropdown didn't change.
It probably doesn't matter that this is a Toshiba Satellite. As I said,
it was working nicely a couple of days ago. Perhaps I'll try to reboot
and see if that jerks it back now that I've changed to roaming...

Gutsy:
Okay, after rebooting, the dropdown functionality does come back, but I
am still left with the old terminal icon rather than the fourstep thing
that shows signal strength.

You received this bug
When I try going in and out of roaming mode again I find that this is
now working as you might expect, though the dropdown signal strength
displays don't come back right away, but they do come back in a minute
or so. Still, I have the old double terminal icon, and not the new step
icon showing
