I think it's inappropriate for this to be Wishlist, especially since it
has been confirmed as a problem in a usability test.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubuntu-mono
- 
  The icon used to show a wired (ethernet) network in network-manager-
  applet shows two arrown pointing up and down. This icon is typically
  associated to "sync" action on various other places and operating
  systems.
  
+ In user testing of Ubuntu on 2010-12-15, participants identified the
+ icon as "flipping between sessions" or "scroll up scroll down."
+ 
  A more appropriate icon could be something like the ones suggested at
  recent GNOME UX Hackfest, see this blog post
  http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=946 and/or this image
