Comment(by HoboPrimate):

 Don't want to be pushing others to do work :/ but the info could still be
 presented a little better.
 Answering Eben's question ( http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2866#comment:13 )
 about what information can be obtained from Network Manager about the
 connecting process, the nm-applet in my Gnome desktop tells of these 5
 steps:

 Preparing Device, Configuring device, Asking for IP, Confirming IP,
 Connection Established

 If all, or some of these steps are happen in Sugar when connecting, then
 it would be good to have this information in the network icon secondary
 palette, especially when something goes wrong and the user can then see at
 which step it failed.

 Adding an acompanying progress bar (of 5 steps) (
 http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2866#comment:2 ) at the top of the secondary
 palette would be the cherry on top of this cake.
