nm screenshot

Is this still an issue with latest packages?

If so, please run these commands when you see the bad icon:
$ nmcli nm
$ nmcli dev s
$ nmcli con s

I have exactly the same problem (right now) - after laptop is resumed from sleep, I connect to wlan (I get a dot in the front of my wlan ESSID 'Home' but the icon shows no signal. After a while, the dot disappears from my wlan ESSID and it is not clear if I'm connected or not (but the connection is still active and internet works)

Reconnection does not solve the problem, restart of NetworkManager does not help as well. Actually, it has no negative consequences for work with Firefox and internet access but I'm not able to login to work via VPN because our company tool reports Network connection status as "Out or Range" (cannot detect IP address even if is listed via ifconfig), VPN cannot login to company until the laptop is rebooted when it works all again.

outputs from suggested commands above:

I will attach log from a moment when I attempt to connect to my WLAN and snapshots of NetworkManager behaviour at the beginning and after a while.

but the "dot" disappears after a while

Just a small update: This behaviour is not regular but random (sometimes it works all out of the box immediately after the sleep wake up ;-) )

I didn't see this behaviour for couple of months now. I consider it as solved.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Ticket can be closed. I am already on F19 and I do not see this behaviour anymore.
