Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2014-01-28 18:19:17 CET 
is it net_applet or nm-applet ?
Comment 2 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-30 18:06:06 CET 
how can I tell when its not a widget (doesn't show up in Add Widgets) and its Help returns "No Help entry for internet-connection" (until I enter the root password, then a Help panel does come up)?
Maybe this will help...

wrong SSID displayed

I was connected to the SSID highlighted in red. After driving home, I'm connected to my home SSID (HotBuffaloWings); but the old SSID is displayed...

Haven't seen this in mga5. Will re-open if I see it again.
