Description

https://download.gnome.org/sources/network-manager-applet/1.8/network-manager-applet-1.8.2.tar.xz

After right-clicking on the network-manager-applet icon in the system tray area, I tried to enable Wi-Fi but it doesn't work. So currently, I am without WiFi and I hope this update will fix it.

Card-1: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (Lewisville)
driver: e1000e
Card-2: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
driver: iwlwifi

WiFi is working now, turned out my laptop had a hardware switch to activate the aeroplane mode. Nevertheless, it makes sense to keep network-manager related packages up to date.

My wired connection appears to be not stable since about a week or so (around 3 disconnects per hour), not sure if this can be fixed with an update.
