Public bug reported:

Coming from 14.04, I was used to see a difference between "no connection
at all" and "wired connection".

As of Ubuntu 16.04, the indicator icons are the same for "wired
connection" and "networking on but no connection at all". Working in Web
Development, this not-difference already proved to be confusing, when I
had no Ethernet connection but the icons suggests that I am online.

Do you think you could either be changed back OR provide two different
indicator icons for "wired on" and "networking on but offline"?
