Bug Description
When there are more than one wireless network adapters in the system network manager indicator displays their names. The name can be a very long one. In my case it is "Qualcomm Atheros AW-NB037H 802.11bgn Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [AR9002WB-1NGCD]". Opened indicator takes more than a half of my screen.
In my opinion, the best solution in case of two adapters - USB and PCI - is to display only information like: "USB", "built-in", "internal", "external".
