Changed to Medium...

I too am not sure which this REALLY is being caused by, but I'm suspecting it's something between both, e.g. the STA driver not reporting correct information to network-manager, or network-manager not picking the right info from the STA driver.

If networking did not work at all, this would certainly be higher than medium, but for now, it's only an icon issue as network functionality, that I've seen at least, is unaffected.

And it DOES involve at least any system with a B43 based wireless card, so Dell, Lenovo, and whoever else is using that chipset.

For what it's worth, my main laptop has an Intel wireless card and the icon works fine with it.

Also, my Lenovo system has a broadcom BCM5906 PCIe copper card and the icon displays fine with that, so at least it's not a generic Broadcom issue, but limited to at least on Broadcom wireless chipset.
