Bug#898394: general: Network (Ethernet) icon not updating on connection

[Keyikedalube Ndang <keyikedalubendang@protonmail.ch>]

Package: general
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tether my phone's internet connection on my notebook. But I'm noticing that
the network icon does not update even the connection is successful. It usually
keeps displaying that connecting status; the icon is grayed out.

Rarely, the icon is displayed correctly i.e., it's no longer grayed but shows
white icon (successful connection)
