Network Manager is a gnome-panel applet, when I needed to use it (which I no longer do, as using the console is better for this anyways) i put gnome-panel as a floating window rule, then would launch it and then nm-applet do my config stuff then kill it. Otherwise I guess maybe gnome has some sort of standard applet dock code that you can specify some random area on the screen for it to draw images / put an icon but thats a lot more work than I guess anyone is willing to do.
I'd suggest just doing update-manager / familiarizing yourself with debian ifup,ifdown, apt-get (crontab with echo > dwm-stdio pipe?) and linux ifconfig iwconfig commands, or running gnome-panel as a float in a tag.
