Second, Mac OS X and Windows indicate connection differently from NetworkManager. Mac OS X will show that Airport is "connected" way before it's successfully completed DHCP or IP assignment. That's a completely useless status since you can't actually do anything in that state, so NetworkManager considers the "connected" state to be once all IP configuration is complete and successful.
I wouldn't lump Windows in here necessarily. As I stated in my mail that by the time I clear the screen lock, not only is the wireless connected, but it's actually communicating with the Internet, enough to get my gmail refreshed.
The rest of the info is good, this feels like fit/polish that could go a long way either for the good, or if left along go a long way for the bad.
