SUMMARY

The nm-applet in my tray shows a yellow tick for every Wifi connection, even though it is connected properly (see attached image). I think the yellow question mark refers to a failed connectivity check.

However, the icon in the system tray gets "normal" when I do `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager`. For me this indicates, that the connectivity check is working, but something goes wrong when initializing the icon during system startup...

If this turns out to be actual misbehaviour, I would be willing to look into the problem myself, but am not familiar with the source code of the plugin or how it works in general, so I would need some pointers from experts...


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Automatically log into wifi after system startup

OBSERVED RESULT
yellow questionmark in Wifi icon

EXPECTED RESULT
wifi icon indicating strength of connectivity

Actually the "failed connectivity check" icon is an exclamation point, not a question mark. The icon it's shown in your tray is the "nothing is connected" icon, so for some reason it doesn't even think it's connected in the first place.

Does this issue reproduce in a new clean user account, or in the Fedora 40 KDE live session?
