I have the same problem, my initial search found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1427800
The easiest temporary fix is to install the old network-manager-gnome 9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 deb, luckily I don't have my mirrors auto clean. Here is a copy, I just had the i386 version: http://open-sense.com/temp/network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_i386.deb I wish they would keep at least one older version kept in the repository pools, but I googled the exact file name and found these for i386 and amd64. I haven't tried them but they should work: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3/+build/4503560/+files/network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_i386.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/137742895/network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424119 Title: Edit Connections...now insensitive by default in network manager's menu Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: arno@arno-1000H:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS Release: 12.04 arno@arno-1000H:~$ apt-cache policy network-manager-gnome network-manager-gnome: Installé : 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4 Candidat : 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4 Table de version : *** 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages Might be after upgrade to network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.4, the item Edit Connections... at the bottom of the network manager's menu is now insensitive i.e. grayed out, therefore user cannot configure his/her connections as indicated in http://docs.xubuntu.org/1204/internet-networks.html#network-connections workaround : launch /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor to display the network connections window and have access to the settings.
