Known problem, I think what's happening is a race between NM the applet, where 
the connection has occurred, but the code that grabs the active network name 
either doesn't trigger, or there's another bug in NM somewhere.  In any case, 
it's merely cosmetic...

The applet will only show one entry for any particular ESSID at this time...  I 
guess we should probably pick the highest strength that's reported for a 
particular ESSID at any given time though.
