in lxpanel nework status monitor does not list my two ethernet connections in the drop down menu

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce boot on a desktop with two ethernet cards and lxde add the network monitor status application to lxpanel then left click it. I currently have one plugged in and the other disconnected. Then left click the network monitor status and a window will pop up. Then on the drop down menu click to select and no text will appear in the popup menu to select between the two interfaces.

Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10

I expected a popup menu to select interfaces to show text of eth0 and eth1. Instead the menu did not show any text on selecting interface. A workaround could be to right click the network monitor applet and then edit the interface by typing in the interface name.
