Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

The latest network manager version for karmic has the connected wireless network at the top (thank goodness you removed the heart!), however the disconnect menu option that appears underneath it looks like a wireless network called "Disconnect" at first glance.

yes, I second that.
However, it should be marked <wishlist>.

i think the wifi AP is distinct enough because its bold. We also have a bug that for other devices the AP isn't even bold. I am reusing this bug for that now. If you really want to keep a bug open for the current status, i can open one for you (or go ahead and do that too).
