nm-applet displays as 'disabled' but is working

[Brad Crittenden]

After upgrade to lucid everything was working well until I put the laptop to sleep. When it would not wake I was forced to reboot. At that time the nm-applet showed the network was disabled. After re-enabling it and connecting to a wireless network it is still displaying an icon with a red exclamation point, even though the networking is fine.

More information: I have a dual-frequency WAP. When connecting to the 5GHz connection the connection is made and works fine but the applet displays the warning icon. However connecting to the other access point the applet displays a full connection icon.

I've searched the log files for any indication of a problem when the applet reports trouble but have found none.

Also note that upon boot the networking is marked 'disabled' and I have to manually enable it.
