Comment 2 for bug 683896

Due to how I use wireless, I am going to have to use either the old version of network-manager-gnome it works fine in gnome-shell or the old panel), or another app altogether for wireless mangement. I will test each subsequent version though, rolling back if it doesn't work. This is something that has to be fixed by the final release, though it is an acceptable hassle in an alpha. Without signal strength indication, some forms of urban wireless use become quite impractical.
