Wireless connection to "(none)"

[Robert Simpson <rbsimpso gmail com>]

I found these archived messages through Google, and I have the same
problem - the connection works fine, and the Connection Established
message displays the right AP name, but the tray icon says there is a
"Wireless network connection to '(none)'", and there are no bars showing
signal strength.

nm-list shows the connected AP at the top of the list, but there is no "*".

I believe my last comment on the patch was that it only covers over the
problem, it doesn't actually fix the problem.  You'll only get this
issue when NetworkManager cannot find the currently associated AP in the
scan list, which could be either a driver bug, or a NetworkManager bug.
Using nm-tool will help determine whether its in the applet, or in
NetworkManager.
