Wired and DSL are both wired connections. This makes it impractical to display the connection status as an icon if you have multiple wired connections.
Marking as Incomplete -- there's just no simple way to fix this, and I certainly can't think of a way to show "DSL" as an icon that would be different from wired and still look good (and avoid confusing users). I'd like to involve the designers in this if there's any work to be done there. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577297 Title: NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the Internet is reached via another interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/577297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
