Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as
Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and
you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

Title:
nm-applet shows incorrect info re wifi
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
(This platform is *insisting* that I say this has to do with the
network-manager-applet package, which does not exist on my system. The
real package seems to be network-manager-gnome.
I'd file another bug for bugs.launchpad.net, but that's way too meta
for me just now.)
nm-applet's icons in the top-right of the unity panel (I think that's
what it's called) often shows incorrect information on the status of
the wifi network.
Specifically, it often shows the ethernet icon when my machine is
connected only wirelessly; or it shows the wifi icon as having *no*
signal strength, when in fact, the signal strength is fine.
The change from correct info to incorrect, or from incorrect to
another kind of incorrect, occurs after waking the machine from
suspend.
Logging out and back in, either through the panel system menu, or via
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, fixes it; until the next suspend.
