Long standing issue? See bug 24349
(In reply to sturmvogel from comment #5) > Long standing issue? See bug 24349 This is different. No network was set up during install. At first boot login, network is indicated as connected (tick mark). Network Centre reports that Wired (Ethernet) TOSHIBA H5321 gw: wwp0s29u1u6i6 is active (has the tick mark). The connect / disconnect button is marked as "Disconnect" There is no simcard in the machine, there can be no active connection using this device.
Possibly related to Bug 27795 - In Xfce, net_applet does not react to changes in connection status properly

Despite not being manually configured during install, did it create any files for the network? "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*" files other then ifcfg-lo?

This is the same as in prior releases. Shortly after boot /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/81-net.rules detects a network device and runs /usr/lib/udev/net_create_ifcfg That creates /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$INTERFACE (if it doesn't exist already) which is then used to make a network connection. The reason netapplet is showing connected is because one of them worked. It's working as designed.
Call it whatever. It should not tell user it is connected when it is not.
this is regression from Mageia-9-beta2-i586. at login, there is a small "circular arrow" on the netapplet icon (globe) for a few seconds, but then it changes to the "no connection" red circle with a diagonal bar
same 3 ifcfg files, same contents as rc1.
