Title:
  Fix the wrong device registered in netstatus applet, and automatically
  set it to the first working network connection.

Status in GNOME Network Monitor Applet:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-netstatus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On machines that have multiple NIC's, sometimes network applet
  displays the wrong information.

  This fixes the netstatus applet to use the correct interfaces.

  Interfaces can be eth, or sit.

  I include a script with this bug:

  #!/bin/sh
  # Find the first working network connection and 
  # configures it in netstatus applet.
