    Unable to reset Network Manager Applet in Panel

    Accidentally I removed the NM Applet from the panel and I am trying to reset it. When I right-click on the panel and "Add to Panel", I couldn't see Network Manager. Hence I couldn't connect to the available wireless network.
    I am able to add Network Monitor, which is similar to Network manager, but this just displays info about current network.
    Any help to reset my Network Manager on Panel would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shan

    This may work for you add a notification area to the panel, should be empty, then in a terminal run
    nm-applet --sm-disable
    Then that should put NM into that notification area, is a bit of guess work so may not work
    There's no place like ~/

    This didn't help me.
    Here is the result:

    $ nm-applet --sm-disable
    An instance of nm-applet is already running.

    ** (nm-applet:2472): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.

    Ok either reboot or in terminal
    sudo killall nm-applet
    and then start it again with the previous command

    Try adding a "Notification area".
