The Network Icon shows a wifi indicator with a question mark instead of the wifi strength (+ lock, since I am using a VPN). I created a bridge (which I need for certain programs to work), however if I connect to it the indicator stops showing my connection status. Toggling "Show and configure virtual connections" does not fix the icon. FYI, the bridge is using IPv4's "Shared to Other Computers". IPv6 is "Ignored".
To understand the situation, you have "wifi icon + question mark" when you are connected to a wireless network and no icon at all when you are connected to bridge?

No. I didn't really explain this very well, sorry. I mean, I have 4 states. Wifi: Shows wifi icon with the bars representing the signal strength Wifi + VPN: Shows wifi icon with the bars representing the signal strength, plus a little padlock Wifi + bridge: Shows wifi icon with no bars and a little question mark Wifi + vpn + bridge: Shows wifi icon with no bars and a little question mark
Git commit bc4d82c1565791db704788e5825e800bb07fc544 by Jan Grulich. Committed on 06/02/2019 at 16:47. Pushed by grulich into branch 'master'. plasma-nm Connection Icon not showing correct icon when using a bridge Summary: This bug has already been reported in bug 397352 Whenever I'm adding a bridge interface to my system, plasma-nm changes the connection icon to a disconnected state even though an active wired or wireless connection is present. In my case, even though I have an active WiFi connection running in the background, as soon as I add the bridge interface, the connection icon changes from 'network-wireless-100' to 'network-wireless-available'. This is probably happening because when the bridge becomes active, NetworkManager considers it the 'ActivatingConnection' and we are choosing the icon based on the 'ActivatingConnection' without running any checks on it. If the 'ActivatingConnection' returns an invalid object we move onto the 'PrimaryConnection'. I have made this diff to only consider the ActivatingConnection for the icon if the first Device for that connection is a "Wifi", "Ethernet", "Modem" or "Bluetooth". If it's not then move to the PrimaryConnection.
