Title:
  Displayed wireless adapter name is too long

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When there are more than one wireless network adapters in the system
  network manager indicator displays their names. The name can be a very
  long one. In my case it is "Qualcomm Atheros AW-NB037H 802.11bgn
  Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [AR9002WB-1NGCD]". Opened indicator
  takes more than a half of my screen.

  In my opinion, the best solution in case of two adapters - USB and PCI
  - is to display only information like: "USB", "built-in", "internal",
  "external".
