Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
        bug for bridge connections fixed in 6.6.2: setIcons() in
libs/connectionicon.cpp does not handle NetworkManager::Device::Bond, causing
it to fall through to setDisconnectedIcon().

        Using the plasma-nm network manager applet with a bonded NIC, the
network tray icon shows the disconnected state (red X) despite full
connectivity.
        Upstream KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516709

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
        add Device::Bond alongside the existing Device::Bridge case (line 354):
in libs/connectionicon.cpp

        } else if (type == NetworkManager::Device::Bridge //
           || type == NetworkManager::Device::Bond) {

   * What was the outcome of this action?
        Network icon functionality restored
