Bug Description
Today Network Manager only gives you two bubbles and a swirl to give you some indication of what it is doing when connecting to a network. This does not give the users any info to what is going on.
This is a request to have some notification to the user of what network manager is doing.
The case of connecting to a wireless network for example. Whould have a notification of "Associating to AP <blah>" , then "Getting Network Address", then it would show "Connected to AP <blah>"
For the case of a wired connection you would have a notification of "Connected to wired network", then "Getting Network Address", then it would show "Connected to wired network".
That is the basic idea.

To add this gives users a better idea of what is going on when connecting to a network. It also helps diagnose network connectivity issues with less advanced users.
