Hi Nio,
If there was a change in nm-applet then this might be the fix we want. 
See if you can connect to wireless (basically, does it work, even if the
icon is odd?)
I am pretty stumped on the grub issue.... maybe we could try installing
and updating grub, from grub-pc on the ISO, and then copying the
grub.cfg?  Do you think this would work?  AFAIK it shouldn't pick up the
liveCD, but it might...  Or, what other options do you think we have?
I try (in this recent one) installing grub twice, and running
update-grub 2 times... nothing seems to change it.  the one that failed
miserably for you I was running
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt "$device"
from the liveCD and then updating grub in the chroot

for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run
do
 mount -B "$i" "/mnt$i"
done && echo "mounted device file systems"
chroot /mnt "update-grub"
for i in /dev/pts /dev /proc /sys /run
do
  umount "/mnt$i"
done && echo "unmounted device file systems"

Not sure what to do, what do you suggest?  I know you have indicated you
believe that the chroot it the culprit, but I am not sure how to run
update-grub without it (and create the grub file)

It seems, that the old grub file created earlier in the mkp* script is
not being overwritten but the update.  Could this be an/the issue?
 I suppose we could chroot, mount the correct things (like in the script
grub-installer) and then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
this might work... but maybe it is not picking up the other devices
because they are not mounted like in the fstab, or whatever.... could it
be that the fstab needs to be generated differently?  Just some thoughts
and new directions.  I always appreciate your years of experience and
wisdom in these areas!  Thanks so much for all the help you have given
during this very long process :)
