Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.10

In usability testing, two of three participants were uncertain that their chosen wi-fi connection had actually connected.

For example, P3: “It should provide a message for the Internet, as I’m not sure whether I managed to connect to it or not.”

Probably we should add some visible confirmation that you really are connected to the Internet.
