Network sys-tray Icon confused

[Cor Koelewijn]

When I do a fresh boot, it 'may' show a normal wifi icon, but sometimes it doesnt.
When I wake it from sleep, it sometimes shows a wired ethernet connection icon, yet no cable is attached. While in this state the wifi is working as previously I set the AP name.
But whatever icon it shows, it's menu doesn't show me any AP names at all!

And when there is a problem with the AP, like when I switch off the DHCP server, it does not give me any info, no AP name, even when I try to disable network, it does not obey at all.
