Thanks Trinidad.
I just pulled up this laptop to do what you suggested and voila (before doing anything) I looked down at the network icon and instead of looking like the two plugs (either unplugged when not connected or plugged together when connected) it was the more usual set of WiFi network bars I am accustom to seeing AND all the available networks were listed when I right clicked!
The only thing I can think of, however maybe someone more experienced will comment, is that I did the
$ sudo apt-get updates prior to installing Geary and then shut down the computer (prior to shutting down the wifi icon was still the plugs and still not networks listed.
is it possible that updating did something? I had very recently installed updates via the "welcome" menu probably 3-7 days ago...
Also what causes and what does it mean when the WiFi icon is plugs verses the network bars? Is there any significance?
Anyway, I have bookmarked this answer as it may pop up again in future.
