GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 313653
Follow the currently selected interface from NetworkManager
Last modified: 2011-07-10 02:43:03 UTC
When NetworkManager is used, the netstatus applet should be following the current interface, rather than either having to switch between the wireless and wired, or having 2 applets on the panel.
An example patch using libnm-glib is in bug #311634.
That's why NM has its own applet I guess... closing, feel free to reopen if you want to do this, but I think the use case for netstatus nowadays doesn't involve NM at all.
I still use both...
gnome-netstatus development has been stalled [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing the bugs as WONTFIX. [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-June/msg00073.html
