Bug Description
Hello,
I'm running an upgraded-to-12.04 ubuntu version.
The Network Manager deamon didn't use to cause me much trouble at all with the Ocelot, but here it's getting kind of annoying...
Here's the problem: and random times (I could not decipher any pattern in the happening of the bug), the little drop-down menu for N-M still appears, but become unsuable. It won't react to clicks, and when i aim for the "More network" extra menu, it displays almost nothing, as if the actual "more networks" menu had been emptide of all its entries and then then still displayed.
I will provide screenshots when the thing happens again some.
The weird thing is that N-M still works in the background: if i turn on and off the wifi chip with the physical button, it reconnects properly, but on its own. The annoying thing is that i can't change network.
As a "fix", i sudo killall NetworkManager it, but it has various effects. Sometimes it restarts well and the bug has disppeared, sometimes it's even worse.
Do ask anything, i look forward to helping you fix this.
