Public bug reported: When there are more than one wireless network adapters in the system network manager indicator displays their names. The name can be a very long one. In my case it is "Qualcomm Atheros AW-NB037H 802.11bgn Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [AR9002WB-1NGCD]". Opened indicator takes more than a half of my screen.
In my opinion, the best solution in case of two adapters - USB and PCI - is to display only information like: "USB", "built-in", "internal", "external". ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1274303 Title: Displayed wireless adapter name is too long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1274303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
