If you're seeing the wrong icon in nm-applet, please file *YOUR OWN* new bug report, and write the number here. Me-too's distract developers from being able to understand what the problem is, because many people have slightly different issues that all look similar.

As we understand it, the original bug is fixed, where wireless would be detected as wired on boot. That means it would show the arrows icon, but my other issues can lead to the icon being wrong.

Unless you run 'nmcli dev' and see that the wireless device says "ethernet" beside its name, then you are not seeing this here bug and should open a new bug report.

If you run 'nmcli dev', and you have wireless that is connected, but also wired or some other network device connected and you see the arrows, then it *might* be expected behavior. Wired networks always take precedence over wireless if both are connected. If you still think it's wrong, please file a new bug, and include the output of 'nmcli dev' and 'ip route'.
