Title:
  [Lucid] Network Manager Applet Wi-Fi icon always shows red exclamation
  mark

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in network-manager source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix
Status in network-manager source package in Maverick:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  [Impact]
  Any users of network-manager (Ubuntu Desktop) with a broadcom chipset requiring the wl driver.

  [Test Case]
  1) run desktop
  2) make sure the wifi signal level appears.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is a fix that has been in all releases since Maverick, well-tested and safe; it changes the behavior when the associated frequency isn't provided by the driver by looking through the available scanning frequencies to match the right Access Point. Regression potential is minimal since this online provides an alternative value to display via the applet in the event that no frequency / signal level is available by properly matching the AP when the driver doesn't provide the information expected.

  ----

  Installed Lucid daily as of 15 March on a Lenovo S10 Netbook
  (Installed Desktop version, NOT UNE).

  After installing the driver for my Broadcom wireless card via
  hardware-drivers, I connected to my router and surfed the internet
  while testing other things (FF, Empathy, etc)

  I noticed that the wireless icon in indicatior area ALWAYS displays a
  grey wireless representation with a red exclamation mark.

  This makes it look as though there is some error or problem though
  when I hover over the icon I get the message that I'm connected and
  have internet connectivity.

  I disabled the wireless card and nothing changed... until I tried
  connecting, then I get the spinner, until Network-Manager decides it's
  not going to be able to connect, and the icon changes back to the Wi-
  Fi with Exclamation mark.

  So, I right click and re-connect after turning the wireless card back on and I get a good connection and internet apps work, but the icon still gives me the glaring red exclamation mark
