Boot the system. It should include a wireless device. - 2. In a terminal, run 'nmcli dev'. - 3. In the correct case, the line for the wireless device should read "wifi" under the TYPE column. In a failure case, it will read "ethernet". + ******** + RESULT + ******** + From time to time, some of these happen: + - The applet doesn't list any wireless network. + - The applet doesn't show the name of the current network. + - The icon shows the wired connection symbol, instead of the wifi one. - After upgrading to the new version, the repeating the above steps should - give expected behavior. + ************* + WORK AROUND + ************* + (http://askubuntu.com/questions/762198/16-04-lts-wifi-connection-issues) - [Regression Potential] - Potential of causing regression is relatively small for a one line change to re-read a value to be known. + ***** + FIX + ***** + The applet needs to re-read the DEVTYPE after the device name changed. - --- + ******************* + HOW TO TEST A FIX + ******************* + In the Terminal application enter: + nmcli dev - Problems:- - - 1.
