Bug Description
16.04 amd64.
The applet icon in the status area shows the opposing vertical arrows (Wired) symbol rather than the classic WiFi radiating symbol after adding a Wifi Access Point Hotspot, enabling it, having it fail to start (see bug #1579512 "Hotspot Access Point mode fails for 802.11a (5GHz) band"), and the system automatically reconnecting as a WiFi client to the local AP. The system doesn't even have a wired Ethernet interface.
The applet menu also does not display the connected WiFi network at all although the Active Network Connections dialog displays the connection parameters correctly.
