Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
New user installs Ubuntu, then attempts to connect to their wireless
access point (for example 'BT-HomeHub'). As we know there are sometimes
reasons why wifi doesn't connect when it should. They may at some point
discover they can right click Network Manager panel applet and find
'Connection Info'. If they click the 'Wireless' tab they will see the
following:-
Auto BT-HomeHub never
Note the word "never". A new user has no idea what 'never' means because
there is no column heading, and there is no other connections (this
being the first) giving any clue that 'never' means 'you have never
connected (in the past)'. In fact some users I have met think it means
'never connect to to this access point'.
This could be easily resolved by adding a column heading 'Last connected
at:' or similar, or a tooltip.
