Are those alternative ideas to indicate if the network is active?

To summarize the current status: there are four things we want to show 
in the icon:

- channel number (currently done with the maya numerals)
- I am connected to the network (currently done in the same way we do it 
for APs)
- color of the icon itself (I would choose the color of the user, like 
we do for the mesh icons)
- someone else is already connected to the network (one idea was to add 
a badge)

Thanks,
