Title:
  Network icons disabled and inconsistent behavior in 14.04

Status in glib-networking package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a stable working ubuntu 64 bit 14.04. I had wired, wireless and mobile broadband configured and working on it. (airtel and tata photon plus 4G and 3G dongles configured respectively.)
  I could select the connection from the network icon at top of the screen and choose whichever connection to use.

  Yesterday I tried a ZTE dongle. It was not detected. So i installed Vodafone application it came with. After that I could use the Vodafone application dialer and use internet.
  Then i rebooted machine. Now I am observing following:
  1)  while booting i get "Booting system without full network" and "waiting for network configuration"
  2) did not get network icon in the menu.
  3) system icon in has disappered ie left pane.

  i tried few things like lightdm restart

  ZTE donge details:
  detected as : vodafone 19d2:1237 ZTE WCDMA Technologies
  model : zte k 4201 I

  Now i am getting to see two network icons in the top panel.
  "Networking" and "WiFi" menu are disabled.
