[Bug 1575655] Re: the network indicator shows the wrong status

[Martin Spacek]

I have this problem in Xubuntu 16.04 with HWE kernel, on my Thinkpad X1
carbon 4th gen (2016).

uname -a:

Linux Godel 4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 15:57:59
UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci | grep -i network:

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)

I've been using:

killall nm-applet; nm-applet &

very regularly in the past couple of weeks when I've been using a
different wifi router. I don't think this was happening to me in the
past. Has anyone seen a change in behaviour, whether due to updates or
change in usual physical location?

Another Thinkpad on the same network with the same install and kernel,
an old X120e running an AMD cpu and a Realtek RTL8188CE wireless card,
does *not* seem to exhibit this problem. i.e., nm-applet shows the
correct icon and shows all available wifi APs after multiple suspend
resume cycles.
