Public bug reported:
So if I connect to a wifi access point is shows signal strength as an
icon. But if I connect to a 3G network using a USB modem the connection
is established and no signal strength icon is displayed. The connection
itself is made correctly and works, the nm_applet is still in the panel
and can be accessed using right or left mouse button, it just shows no
icon but an empty space! It worked perfectly before but after some
updated of different packages it stopped working and I'm not sure what
could be the reason. I'm using Xubuntu 13.04 but I also tried Xubuntu
13.10 and I have the same problem there.
I also tried to kill the nm-applet process and start it in the console -
it shows no warnings or error messages
