Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04
I have a similar problem also.The icon disappeared from my panel even though network manager is still running. I sometimes have to connect to other networks if I am at someone else's home etc. This makes for a tedious process without the ease that that icon provided. I also have had a lot of problems with packages not being downloaded due to dependency issues or md5 sums not matching. I have been using Ubuntu since the 6.06 LTS release, and although this is not the first time I have encountered a shoddy release, for the first time I am considering switching to another distro. This release was certainly not stable enough to be released, and it is especially disturbing because this is a long-term support release. I am afraid that Ubuntu may be on its way to becoming the "Windows" of the Linux world. :( :( :(

The other suggestion was to install wicd. It will handle your wireless connection. Just connect a wired connection and install wicd.

It should just handle your connection just like network manager, the only thing you need to do is put in the passphrase you got from your ISP. Click refresh and it should find all available networks.

Hey Fellas
nm-applet problem solved :D :KS
Solved it own after searching long.
Method---
in the terminal type "sudo edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf" change the "managed=false" to "managed=true" and then save it.
then in the terminal type "killall nm-system-settings"
and then reboot......
it works for me...
Try with urs and tell me the result :D:D

Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04
Hello guys!
I have the same problem (network applet gone) and rather then opening a new thread I will continue this one (even though I see is marked as solved). I tried editing the nm-system-settings.conf and I got the applet back, but the problem was that I lost my internet connection. The internet wire was plugged in, but the applet appeared as disconnected. So, I reverted the changes, I have internet again, but no applet. Any suggestions for me?
