Comment 2 for bug 689529

Upgrade of 0.8.3+git.20101209t061929.638fb18-0ubuntu1 to 0.8.3+git.20101219t181118.e919218-0ubuntu1 did not change this behaviour .
In nm-applet menu, 'Enable wireless' mark is turned on and off as intended, but on the top of the menu, wireless is left disabled, grayed-out, and sensed wireless networks are not shown .

wicd still works fine and I am using it instead, so far.
