Comment 6 for bug 1470900

Here's my description from the private bug:

While testing the latest version of NM from silo-006, I noticed that when I enable WiFi and it autoconnects to my home AP, although the NM menu shows the AP as connected ( it's green ), the panel icon sometimes can take several minutes to switch to show WiFi is connected, and sometimes it never switches at all ( see attached screen shot ).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable WiFi, associate with an available access point
2. Disable WiFi
3. Verify that mobile data is active
4. Enable WiFi

Expected Result:
The panel icon is changed to show WiFi is connected.

Actual Result:
The panel icon takes several minutes to change, or sometimes never changes at all.

current build number: 58
device name: arale
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en
last update: 2015-07-13 11:11:10
version version: 58
version ubuntu: 20150710
version device: 20150709-8965e37
version custom: 20150709-814-6-40

Even though the changes in the silo version of NM don't touch the WiFi code, I re-installed the previous version of NM ( 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu15.1.4 ) and confirmed that this isn't a regression.

I checked krillin, and it works as expected.

Also note indicator-network's bug #1339792 describes a similar problem.
