After reading this entire post, and finding nothing useful. The only
useful posting was the one about updating (searching for the poster,
crashed my FireFox) so I am not sure if this will help anyone.
[My System]
Ubuntu 10.04.3 (server) - updated to generic-pae - running Xubuntu-Desktop
Linux acer 2.6.32-38-generic-pae #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 12:11:13 UTC 2012
i686 GNU/Linux
--------
The steps I took to fix the problem
Applications->Accessories->Terminal
$ sudo su -
$ aptitude search network
I looked for all that was installed, and what I thought would be needed to
maintain the network through apps instead of directly through the
/etc/network/interfaces file
I found and installed the below apps
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager network-config network-manager-gnome
gnome-network-admin --reinstall
The gui informed me after this install I needed to reboot, so I rebooted.
Once I rebooted, the notification icon didn't appear, and FireFox along with
other applications did start correctly, (ie NOT in "Offline" Mode)
