[Bug 1575655] Re: the network indicator shows the wrong status

 

Same thing here, on a freshly installed yakkety. Before that, on the
same machine, same symptoms witch xenial, i.e. network-indicator showing
no connetion/wired connetion/no Wi-Fi networks available while a fully
working Wi-Fi connection exists, primarily after suspend/resume and/or
switching between users.

Funny thing is, I don't see anything like this on a handful of other
machines. Possible explanations:

1) Could be hardware-related. The laptop in question has a Qualcomm
Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01).

2) The laptop in question is the only machine that is shared between
more than one users with separate accounts.

Title:
  the network indicator shows the wrong status

Status in indicator-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  indicator-applet:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 12.10.2+15.04.20141127.2-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
       12.10.2+15.04.20141127.2-0ubuntu1 500
          500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

  The network indicator sometimes shows the icon for wired connections
  and sometimes claims wifi without connection even though I'm
  consistently connected over wifi. I don't mean to say that it switches
  between these two or that always is wrong. But sometimes my connected
  to wifi symbol changes to wired. Other times it will change to the no
  connection wifi. The info is correct on boot, but switches over time,
  possibly after suspension.
