OK OK OK!!!!! Please pay attention.
go to System >> Preferences >> Startup Applications
Scroll down until you see the NetworkManager icon.
Click and drag it to the menu bar on your screen.
Make sure you give it the right command you want in the properties.
You should be ok.

Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04
DAMN!
I switched themes and my network manager applet is totally gone.
I did the above trick and now it's showing up like a wireless connection (wireless icon) and I don't even have a wireless card in this thing.
How do i get on my work's vpn now???
EDIT:
Fixed it.
Just gotta add the 'notification area' and all's well.
DAMN!
Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04
I just found another spot that could make the indicator disappear... I couldnt figure out why the root account had the indicator, but my limitted user account did not..so I did some digging
cat ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Network Manager
Comment=Control your network connections
Icon=nm-device-wireless
Exec=nm-applet --sm-disable
Terminal=false
Type=Application
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=NetworkManager
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nm-applet
I moved that file out and if fixed it,
code:
sudo mv ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop ~/.config/autostart--nm-applet.desktop.bak
