Thanks for the bug report, and sorry we were not able to get to it yet! So you see this with a wired connection? Does it affect a wireless one too?

Is it still happening in Plasma 6.3.4 or later?

I forgot about it as well, luckily it has been fixed along the way. Now even when I'm disconnected it shows a network-wired-available icon, but I guess I should file a separate bug for that
