On Debian there is very helpful guide here: wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi The package you need there is firmware-iwlwifi The missing network manager applet is something I haven't seen for a while. You can open a terminal in sys-net and check to see if it's already running, and try to restart it. The program is nm-applet - try 'kill -9 nm-applet' , and then start it from terminal. I'm assuming you haven't reconfigured your xfce panel, of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
