I'd like to add to this particular bug, as I'm having the same issue.
Interestingly, two computers, both running updated Intrepid installs,
one works as it should (shows signal strength and correct SSID), the
other has the above issue (shows all grey bars, says connected to 'none'
for the SSID, tho
Having just changed my router/access point, oddly it's now showing both
the signal strength and the ssid in the bubble. Unless something changed
in the kernel, perhaps it was the router that was at fault? Making as
invalid as I guess this bug can be ignored!
