All it displays currently (and will, until we use something other than
nm-applet) is what device currently has default route.
Setting to Triaged / Wishlist, and reassigning to indicator-network so
that we can eventually get this to work, but it seems to me like it will
at least need: 1) code, and 2) enabling connectivity checking in NM.

Title:
NM indicator chooses an icon according to one interface even if the
Internet is reached via another interface
Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm using network-manager with DSL. My DSL connection is rather
unreliable, so it disconnects or refuses to connect relatively often.
A major feature of network-manager for me is that it attempts to
reconnect automatically, another one is that it displays me whether
the connection works right now thanks to its icon.
that second feature stopped working in 10.04. Now the icon of network-
manager is the same whether i'm in fact online or not. i do get a
notification that the connection was lost, so network-manager knows
that i'm now offline, but the icon stays the same.
i don't know if it's a problem of the icon set (Humanity) or of
network-manager.
i do have besides the DSL connection also a second network card for
the local area connection. that second connection is always working.
maybe the network-manager icon is showing me the status of that second
connection, but if that is the case, it really makes no sense, it
should show me the status of the connection bridging me to internet.
