** Description changed: The icon used to show a wired (ethernet) network in network-manager- applet shows two arrown pointing up and down. This icon is typically associated to "sync" action on various other places and operating systems. In user testing of Ubuntu on 2010-12-15, participants identified the icon as "flipping between sessions" or "scroll up scroll down." A more appropriate icon could be something like the ones suggested at recent GNOME UX Hackfest, see this blog post http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=946 and/or this image http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/gnome-stencils.png + + See also bug 461427, about the icon showing even when it isn't useful.
