Re: nm-applet shows wrong state at boot

[Bill Moss <bmoss clemson edu>]

I agree that my solution is not a proper solution. My point was that it 
shows that the problem is a timing issue. NM has gotten so quick to make 
a wired connection at boot, that it sometimes (fast dhcp transaction) 
leaves nm-applet in the dust. You are right, some type of query is 
needed. Maybe there should be a nm-applet "up/down" state that gets sent 
to NM.
