[Bug 829673] [NEW] No easy way to turn the network menu on/off

 

Public bug reported:

network-manager 0.8.9997+git.20110721t045648.36db194-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu
Ocelot

1. Try to work out how to hide the networking menu. (For example, you're
using a desktop machine that is always connected by Ethernet.)

What happens: There's no obvious way to do it.

What should happen: I suggest a checkbox, "Show network status menu in
the menu bar", at the bottom of the "Network Connections" window, as
shown in
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=AttachFile&do=view&target
=settings-window-flight-mode.png> (Never mind that the rest of the
window is different.)
