Network icon in lxpanel not changing correctly

[light2ultima]

Hello!
I have recently installed lubuntu-desktop in Ubuntu 12.04. In the lxpanel I have a network icon which shows my current network connection status. I have a wired connection [ethernet] which connects automatically at startup. In Unity or Gnome I observed that this icon changed to to arrows [one up, one down] when wired connection was established. But in lubuntu it showed "disconnected" time icon.

How can I change this network icon to behave like in Unity or Gnome? I am submitting image decribing the situation
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the same issue, but assumed that it was because the network connection was setup manually by editing /etc/network/interfaces - not using any GUI.

BTW, Lubuntu 12.04 has been out of support since last May. It only had 18 months of support for some reason. ;(

Thanks TheFu.

That was helpful? I thought it was more like a "me too" comment.
