This bug was reported in July and never confirmed ( hence the New ), so
someone should've tried to reproduce with a current image before marking
it Critical for RTM.

I just re-ran the original scenarios on RTM image #44.

I can still reproduce the original problem, however the overall latency
has come way down ( 10-15s max for state transition vs. almost a minute
maximum before ).

In scenario one, we should check the indicator's logic and see when the
connect attempt is made to the newly selected network.  It seems that a
disconnect always happens when a network is selected, even when the user
the clicks cancel.  My guess is that this may have something to do with
the NM agent prompting mechanism used to tell the indicator to collect a
password.

Anyways, again in scenario 1, I get a ~10s overlap of the icon showing
2G, and the network-menu showing the connected AP.   After the 10s, the
icon updates to the appropriate WiFi icon.   My guess about the latency
is that even though we may be connected, it takes awhile for NM to
prepare the connection and maybe it notified the indicator that it's
connected prior to the connection being fully setup???

I'm less concerned about scenario 2 as there's no conflicting icons /
menu states, it just takes awhile to switch back to 2G.

Maybe this could be marked High instead of Critical?

Title:
  Panel network icon - too much latency when network type changes

Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing image #u122 this morning, I ran into two separate scenarios
  where the panel network icon didn't always accurately reflect the
  current network technology due to some kind of latency detecting
  network changes ( ie. WiFi -> 3G -> WiFi ).

  Both scenarios were reproduced on mako.

  Scenario 1:

  3G: online
  WiFi: enabled; connected to AP 1

  - display network menu
  - tap another secure network
  - tap cancel when Password dialog is displayed

  At this point the indicator shows '3G' whereas the network menu still
  shows the original AP 1 as connected.  After some period of time ( 10s
  - 1m ), the icon will change back to show that WiFi is connected.

  Scenario 2:

  3G: online
  WiFi: connected to AP 1

  - go to System Settings::WiFi
  - click "Previous Networks"
  - select the currently connected AP/network
  - click Forget Network
  - go back to WiFi settings

  The WiFi settings correctly shows the AP is no longer connected,
  however again the network icon takes some time ( 10s - 1m ) to reflect
  the change back to "3G".
