Description of problem:
After updating to Fedora 20, no WLAN:s are shown in the drop-down meny in the  upper right of the screen. But opening the "settings" window, WLAN:s are present and possible to connect to.

The attached screenshot explains it quite well I hope


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
network-manager-applet-0.9.9.0-7.git20131028

How reproducible:
Every time. But it worked while my laptop was running F19

Well, then it is an issue of the gnome-shell network indicator (or how it is called these days).

All of a sudden, out of the blue and for no reason what-so-ever, this suddenly started working after a reboot.
Sorry for the noise, I'll re-open the bug if the icon would disappear again.

Comment 3 David Juran 2014-01-28 11:07:31 UTC
Re-opening, the problem has re-appeared and I think I've found a pattern. If I have a physical network cable plugged in when booting the laptop (or maybe just when logging in) the network indicator will not report any WLAN:s.
This is true even if the physical cable is unplugged later on.

I'm using gnome-shell-3.10.3-2.fc20.x86_64

Comment 4 David Juran 2014-02-03 06:39:29 UTC
Scratch that, I haven't a clue why it sometimes works and why the WLAN icon sometimes is missing. This morning when I booted up my laptop, no network cable plugged in, the WLAN section was missing.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:38:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 14:41:45 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
