"nm-applet" doesn't display the wifi access it's connected to with driver "broadcom-sta" for BCM4312, 4322

[jac3n]

Binary package hint: wl

Appending with "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)" on Ubuntu 9.04 LPIA *and* x86 releases.

The driver used is the one selected with "restricted driver manager", that shows me "Broadcom STA wireless driver". I can't find that into the repositories.

how the bug occurs :

When choosing a wifi network with nm-applet, all is going right : the wifi sets up and the connection is established. All Internet is working well with WPA-securised network.

The bug consists in the fact that nm-applet *doesn't* display the network it is connected to with the traditional rounded checkbox (in the network list). Moreover, the icon in the systray is always the 0% wifi reception one.

See the screenshot and the traditional files into the package to understand what kind of problem this is.

Just to note that, in Maverick, NM started to show the connection as it normally should in the past weeks (can't precise when).
