Hi exploder,
If helpful, I created a bug report for this yesterday eve. [/quote]
Oops! While about to add some helpful information, just realised I misinterpreted the original post, sorry @exploder!
In case helpful for anyone in the future, here’s the info anyway:
If you find (like I did) the issue covered in my bug report is still present after a clean 16.04 LTS installation, here’s how to fix it…
Control Centre -> Additional Drivers
* (while connected to the Internet) Locate the wireless driver in use, change it to Do not use the device
* Apply Changes
* Re-select the wireless driver and once again Apply Changes
Afterwards, wireless signal strength and Connected desktop notification should work as expected.
Found the bug issue is still present after clean 16.04 LTS install if option to install updates during installation is used.
Update: After few hours its returned to showing Panel Ethernet connection notification (instead of wireless signal strength), and Desktop notification showing Disconnected, while connected.
