Bug Description
After successfully connecting to a wireless network, nm-applet displays the "disconnected" icon instead of the signal strength. The icon tooltip says "Wireless connection '...' active", which is correct. When I left-click the icon to see the list of networks, under "Wireless networks", there's just a "Disconnect" button, while the network I'm connected to is in the list along with all other available networks.
/var/log/syslog contains one suspicious message:

This Bug also affects me on my HP Mini 5101 (i386).
In Ubuntu 9.10 the icons of the nm-applet were correct. Since I've updated to Lucid this bug is bugging me.
