I have the same problem in my desktop. I only have an Ethernet card. The card itself works fine, but the entries in the network-manager's menu, containing my VPNs do not appear. Everything was working fine before the upgrade to 12.04.
If I kill nm-applet, and re-run again, the VPN menus appear. Please, let me know if I can provide more information that helps to fix this bug. -- 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/995864 Title: Network indicator's menu doesn't work properly ! Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet: New Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello guys, This bug is quite annoying, and seems stricly related to *nm-applet*. Starting up the laptop with Wireless, brings a "cut" version of the network menu, and it's impossible to connect to any VPN connection or switch Wireless network. If starting up the laptop with Wireless disabled, the menu is even further reduced to just 4 items (Enabled Network / Wireless and Connection Info / Edit Connections). Some other times some weird combination appears, like VPN entries completely gone, but still, they are there if you edit them ! Switching Wireless on and off resolve the problem, and menu fully appear. Even waiting for 1 hour after boot, it doesn't make the menu appear correctly. This problem happens at every boot.
