Bug Description

Coming from 14.04, I was used to see a difference between "no connection at all" and "wired connection".

As of Ubuntu 16.04, the indicator icons are the same for "wired connection" and "networking on but no connection at all". Working in Web Development, this not-difference already proved to be confusing, when I had no Ethernet connection but the icons suggests that I am online.

Do you think you could either be changed back OR provide two different indicator icons for "wired on" and "networking on but offline"?
