You have been subscribed to a public bug: I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my laptop. I connect to a "Wireless connection", provided by my hostel. It devices connected to the wireless connection have to access the web through a proxy.
Everything works fine, and I am able to use access the web without any hindrance. But the Network status icon shows that I am connected to a "Wired Connection" , although I have connected to a "Wireless Connection". It doesn't show any name of the connection it is connected to, also when network symbol is pressed it neither show the available wireless connection nor the Wireless connection it is connected to. When I see through System Settings it shows I am connected to a "Wireless Network", which is shown in the screen-shot. I do not know why the icon shows I am connected to a "Wired Connection". How do fix this problem ? Now I am unable to determine the Strength of the wireless connection easily,as I have go to System Settings each time to see the strength of the connection. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: network unity wireless-icon -- Wired Connection Icon shown in Menu bar ,although connected to a Wireless Network in Ubuntu 16.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
