I suggest to also make a notification when Network Manager is connecting. So you easily follow what Network Manager is doing.

Current notification behaviour
1 You start your pc, Network manager tries to connect to a wireless network. No notification.
2 Network Manager has succesfully connected. Notification: 'Wireless Nm', Connection established
3 You are out of range. Notification: 'Wireless Nm', Disconnected
4 You connect to another network. No Notification.
5 You select yet another network. Still no notification at what Network manager is doing.

Proposed notification:
1 You start your pc. Notification: 'Wireless Nm', Connecting...
2 Network Manager has succesfully connected. Notification: 'Wireless Nm', Connection established
3 You are out of range. Notification: 'Wireless Nm', Disconnected
4 You connect to another network. Notification: 'W2', Connecting...
5 You select yet another network. Notification: 'W3', Connecting...

From what I'm reading, this papercut is about step 5. So introducing 'connecting...' messages should solve this papercut.
