The challenge that we're facing is:

- we have at least 3 types of network connections that should be 
represented by the appropriate icon:
1. Wireless
2. Wired
3. 3G

Each of these has potentially 4 different states:

- card present, but switched off
- card present, but no connection
- connecting
- connection established (w/various signal strenghts for wireless and 3G)

We're currently investigating each of these both from design perspective 
and N-M capabilities. Lot of work to be done and any help/suggestions 
are most welcome.

Cheers,
M.
