Binary package hint: network-manager
New user installs Ubuntu, then attempts to connect to their wireless access point (for example 'BT-HomeHub'). As we know there are sometimes reasons why wifi doesn't connect when it should. They may at some point discover they can right click Network Manager panel applet and find 'Connection Info'. If they click the 'Wireless' tab they will see the following:-
Auto BT-HomeHub never
Note the word "never". A new user has no idea what 'never' means because there is no column heading, and there is no other connections (this being the first) giving any clue that 'never' means 'you have never connected (in the past)'. In fact some users I have met think it means 'never connect to to this access point'.
This could be easily resolved by adding a column heading 'Last connected at:' or similar, or a tooltip.
