Bug Description
Summary:
In Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 2 with the ubuntu-provided sta/wl driver for Broadcom wifi chips, nm-applet does not property reflect the state of the wireless connection. Specifically, even though the system connects and authenticates with a WPA2-PSK secured network and the connection functions properly, nm-applet continues to show the red-exclamation icon.
Expected Results:
nm-applet should always reflect the current state of network connections.
Actual Results:
nm-applet does not show the current state of network connections when using Wifi.
Notes:
This symptom was not present in 10.04. Possibly related to #427261

Here's some more info on this bug. This doesn't appear to be (solely) a nm-applet bug. Specifically, nm-applet shows the fallback icon whenever the (buggy) wifi driver (in my case wl) does not report an association; This commit seems to have fixed this upstream (http://
This is not a sufficient fix, however, as --- for some reason I've not tried finding yet --- the BSSID is not reported as it should. This is the underlying reason for this bug and I will report this separately. Since maverick is still early in the dev. cycle I presume that the upstream 'fix' wrt to nm-applet will be incorporated before release so you can close this one.
