Michael, the converse problem is that you open System Settings, or the
Network menu, and you can't see which network is active because it's off
the bottom of the screen. When I specified the network menu, I addressed
this problem by saying it should show a maximum of 6 networks (always
including the active one, if any), so that there would be no scrolling.
But that subtlety has been lost since, and anyway, it wouldn't work for
System Settings which doesn't have the luxury of showing only a subset
of networks.

Anyway, I suggest that when you choose a network, it should stay put.
After any authentication, a spinner should appear. Then finally when the
network actually connects, it should ascend smoothly into the "Connected
to:" slot, while the previously active network, if any, descends to its
alphabetical position.

Title:
  Current access point should not change until it is active

Status in Network Menu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When selecting an access point, the current AP changes immediately to the one which was selected selected, even if it is not yet connected. The access point should only change to current when it is connected.
  Would also be nice to be able to tell if the access point is "trying to connect".
