First do you have the Notification Area displayed in your panel? This is where things like Pidgin, gnome DO, and Network manager live. If not, then right click on the panel and click add to panel. Look for Notification Area and drag it to the panel. You may need to logout and log back in to see network manager reappear. If this is not it, let me know and we'll go from there.
