Hey Fellas
nm-applet problem solved
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

That done it for me too !
I had tried almost everything else with no result.
I had removed the "Notification Area" before, but wasn't unaware of the consequences as I didn't loose wireless connectivity immediately.
Thank you very much.

As someone said early in this thread, Ubuntu 10.04 is NOWHERE NEAR STABLE.
- I'm having the indicator applet issue with both missing nm-applet, AND battery level appearing twice today; also broadcom wireless on a mini 10v (which is 1 of the very few machines to come pre-installed with Ubuntu!!!) just does NOT work.

AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY - are we back to the 'well its free so what do you expect?' days??

Apologies for not being entirely on-topic, but I'm losing patience here and I've been fully converted for 4 years...whats happened? The ball has not just been dropped, its been kicked into the long grass and lost!?

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?

I use the exact same settings: wired network through pppoeconf.

I use the exact same settings: wired network through pppoeconf.

ok i m nt sure but in my case when i connect to wired using pppoecong it uses eth0 interface hence i need to configure the sudo pppoeconf again while in case of wireless it uses eth1 interface so againg i have to reconfig it...... it depends on your interface i think...
as i sadi i m not sure abt it its my opinion but do concern pthers too
