Public bug reported:

To replicate:
1. Open System > Administration > Network Settings
2. Choose an unencrypted wireless around hoping dhclient will fail to get an ip
3. Hit "Activate"
4. When getting an ip fails / times out, the "activating interface" popup dissapears and in the appropriate "network settings" info box shows it as if wireless is connected. 

What should happen: 
1. same
2. same
3. same
4. popup should dissapear, tell the user that the interface could not be activated, and "network settings" part for wlan0 / eth1 should read "interface not active" 

Why a bug: 
User will not understand why s/he cannot access internet unless s/he checks manually with ifconfig / iwconfig.

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Unconfirmed
