** Description changed: Please include the attached patch in the next update to wpasupplicant in Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).

(Although the "Disconnect" words are there and functional.) 4. see that the signal strength is apparantly empty on the applet icon. (Yet the signal strength is actually quit strong.) 5. check nmcli command and see that signal strength always shows 100 and frequency 0. Applying the patch to wpasupplicant 0.7.3-6ubuntu2.1 fixes the problem (on my PowerPC G4 iBook). Before finding this patch I've had to work around the problem by installing wicd. Thanks
