After reboot, the wifi icon is there. But when i restart the net-work manager, i get the Ethernet icon again and the list of wifi-networks in range is gone again.

Steps to reproduce:

- Click on the wifi icon in the indicator
- Uncheck "Enable Networking"
- Check "Enable Networking"

Result: The Network-manager reconnects to the network, but gives no list of networks in range and the icon is the one for Ethernet.

Expected result: The Network-manager reconnects to the network, shows list of networks in range and the icon is the one for Ethernet wifi.

Thank you for your bug report. When the icon is wrong you are not connected at all right? Could you try if it does the same under Unity?

[Set Hallstrom (sakrecoer)]

When the icon is wrong i AM connected, but if i get disconnected at that point, the only way to get back on-line is by using "connect to hidden network" since the indicator will not show any wifi in range.

On my laptop, deleting all known networks and rebooting solved my issue. On my desktop, this didn't help and i'm still struggling with the bug.

I will try using unity and report back. The attached files to this bug are from my laptop, i will report it from my desktop too.

Confirmed on Lenovo Flex 3-1120 using Ubuntu 16.04 wit Unity. Doing 'killall nm-applet,' then restarting nm-applet via Alt+F2 restores the functionality.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

i am experiencing a similar problem on my asus N550JX-DS71T TOUCH. whenever i reboot or restart my network service, it have the normal wifi indicator and so on, but whenever i resume from suspend it switches to the Ethernet one, and does not show wifi networks, but is connected.
