[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#743416: [network-manager] network-manager shows non-sense buttons on desktop

[Török Edwin]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.8-4
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Looks like something went wrong with the last Network-manager update (0.9.8.0-5 -> 0.9.8.8-4)
as it thinks my desktop is a phone or laptop.

When I click on the network-manager icon in KDE I see these buttons at the top:
Wireless disabled
Mobile broadband disabled
Airplane mode disabled

The box has ONE ethernet adapter, and thats it:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 09)

There is no wireless adapter, there is no mobile broadband adapter, there is no bluetooth, and there certainly isn't a way
to put my desktop into airplane mode.

I haven't seen these buttons before, so this must be a regression (or a new feature implemented wrongly).

Expected behaviour: when the hardware is missing don't show the button to enable/disable it,
i.e. if you got no WiFi hardware, don't show the wifi button, etc.
When you only have wired ethernet (and perhaps VPN on top of that) configured in network-manager, all other buttons should be hidden.
