    Hi,

    Sounds like you don't have it setup yet. If you know your card is working, go to System: Preferences: Network Connections. There you can enter your router's connection name, SSID, and other needed information.

    This is the same problem I'm having. Different wireless cards, reinstalled Ubuntu and the wireless applet still disappears at random. I have to shutdown or log into another user account to connect. The notifications panel is terrible. You can't tweak it or add a new network manager to the panel. If this problem persists I'm giving up on this release. It is not stable - several lockups (black screen with a only cursor showing) when I switch users or log-out. This is not ready for primetime, not even close. They should have delayed it for months of testing. After 5 years of ubuntu use and being a strong advocate, I'm considering to give up and switch back to Windows 7.

    Try adding the Indicator Applet to the panel, maybe that got removed for some reason.

    Sadly this ^. I've been a strong advocate of Ubuntu, and in the past the only major issues I had was installing the restrictive-extras. Everything else just worked. This is the first release, where I'm getting a lot of bugs, and it doesn't "Just Work". Now, I don't mind working on my computer, and usually I can resolve issues. However, this is my only computer so if this goes, I lose all my data. In the future I'm going to wait a month or two before upgrading. But 10.04 is nowhere near a stable release.

    Well, open a terminal and copy and paste this in:

    Code:
    nm-applet --sm-disable
    It will start the applet. You can then manually add it to startup sessions.

    If that doesn't work, just install wicd, it's a different network manager and is often more reliable.
