When you started nm-applet (and it wouldn't work), did you run it with

Nio:
I would tell you precisely, but I can only reproduce the problem by
running the live CD or live USB, and on those (test) systems, I don't
have access to my e-mail when I do that.
I did not use a command-line interface to access it (I avoid that if at
all possible).
I right-clicked on the panel (in an area without any icon, and chose
"Add/Remove Panel Items" from the pop-up menu.
I then clicked the "Add" button of the "Panel Preferences" window that
appeared (with the "Panel Applets" tab selected). I don't normally have
to do this, because the network (or wireless) icon is already in the
panel when the live CD (or USB) finishes booting.
I then selected "Manage Networks" from the list of available plugins,
and clicked the "Add" button.
I then selected "Network Status Monitor" from the list of available
plugins, and clicked the "Add" button.
Then I fumbled around with those additional applets, right or left
clicking on them, and in one combination, I actually got a list of
wireless networks, of which I selected my network, and tried to connect
to it (by clicking on it?).
A simple dialog appeared, asking me to enter the "Encryption key" in a
text box, which I carefully typed in (because I can't see what I'm
typing), and hit the enter-key (or clicked the button to process the
information).
Nothing appeared to happen. There was no error message, but the network
did not connect, and the icon didn't change in any way indicating it was
trying to connect.
With that not working, I specified "System Tools" (or maybe it was
"Preferences") from the task-bar menu, and then selected "Network
Connections" (or something like that).
That yielded a simple dialog with 3 tabs, and nothing like what I've
used in the past to configure a wireless network. In that simple
dialog, I did not discover anything that would let me configure a
wireless network.
Hi again Aere,
It works for me with
gksudo nm-applet &
from a terminal window in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. This is 'a tweak' included
in the OBI tarball described here

Best regards
Nio
I saw many users with problems to connect to networks after running
"nm-applet" with root permissions.
To have nm-applet at startup, I only added "nm-applet" in "Default apps
for LXSession", in the tab "Autostart". This solved the problem.
Regards,
Pierre Gobin
