Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Using 0.6.4-6ubuntu7, when I attempt to re-connect to my wireless network (by re-selecting it from the list of available networks), the icon state doesn't show that the network is re-connecting, it still just gives the network strength. The previous behaviour where it gives the 'connecting' animation was much better as it gave the user feedback that something was happening.

Hmm, in fact, things start to go wrong with all sorts of aspects of the tray icon when you have previously had the wireless in 'manual mode' and then select 'roaming mode' again. After this, the icon never goes back to 'networking disabled' if you disable wireless networking (it still claims "manual network configuration").
To reproduce:
1) Setup a manual configuration for your wireless card
2) Notice NM-applet now shows 'manual network configuration'
3) Select roaming mode for your wireless card
Now try using nm-applet, and notice things don't work right with the icon - it doesn't quite reflect reality.
Running "/etc/dbus- 1/event. d/25NetworkMana ger restart" fixes the icon display.
