I looked at the Debian bug report you created, and I noticed this:

[...]
Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
[...]

That would indicate that some proprietary driver is running on your Debian system. That by itself wouldn't be much of an issue; however, I notice that the log that you gave us in this issue report contains a number of wl (wireless network) errors -- coming from the kernel, the same thing that is marked as "tainted" due to the proprietary driver(s). I have a very strong hunch that the thing at fault here is not the MATE Netspeed Applet, but the network driver. But let's try to confirm my hypothesis.

First of all, is it true that the network to which you're connected is a wireless network (not a wired network such as Ethernet)?

Second, find out what driver is being used to control the networking device. You can do this by first finding the "interface name" of the network device -- right-click on the Netspeed Applet and choose Device Details from the menu; the title of the window that subsequently pops up should be Device Details for XXX, where XXX is the interface name. Now find out what driver it's using by running this terminal command (replacing XXX with the interface name):

dmesg | grep XXX

(If you get an error from that, you will have to run the command again as root.) At least a few lines of output should be printed, some along the lines of:

[   25.927964] b44 ssb0:0 XXX: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100 PCI ethernet driver 00:0b:db:2f:a6:a2

The b44 part right after the square brackets at the left, is the driver name. Now, run this command, replacing YYY with the driver name (in my case, b44):

dmesg | grep YYY

Then copy the output from that command, and paste it into a reply to this issue.

Thanks.
