Icon problem solved but connection issue remains. Example: Twitter is not working but fast.com is working. – Satya Prakash Sep 05 '22 at 09:54

I had same issue. Googled for answer and found that if you edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and insert the line

dns=default

to the [main] section and the question mark over the lan icon disappears.

Adding the line to the [main] section worked for me. – Giorgos Gaganis Dec 10 '18 at 13:56
I followed this instruction and it seemed to fix it, but after a reboot, _all_ internet connectivity was gone until I reverted this and rebooted again. – Shibumi Jan 18 '19 at 15:33
