It is possible to get the network menu up by clicking on the sliver that exists for a systray item with no icon, but it's not easy, and is a little silly. Additionally, the same problem is encountered with a 3G modem. A 'not connected' icon in these states would seem more sensible. The problem you are describing is a problem on its own. Could you open a separate bug for that particular issue? Remember to post the new bug id here.

VPN connection might be a valid reason here. But remember that if NM cannot manage any physical device, managing a VPN on top of nothing doesnt make sense either. Anyway, I also see that it might be helpful to still display the applet, but unless we have a good icon to indicate that the devices are maybe-online and that all is unmanaged, i think that would cause also confusion. - Alexander -- Network Manager 0.7 applet not Appearing if there are managed entries in /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 289466] Re: Network Manager 0.7 applet not Appearing if there are managed entries in /etc/network/interfaces
OK, this is somewhat a feature. Most likely all devices are in /etc/network/interfaces, which basically means that NM doesnt have a single device to manage and thus doesnt display the applet. I admit that this is a confusing thing, but having an applet that doesnt allow you to do anything wouldnt be less confusing. Remove your configurations from /etc/network/interfaces if you want to use NetworkManager ... otherwise just manage your network using ifup/ifdown command line tools (which doesnt require the applet at all).

NM should be there with a greyed out eth0 and an uneditable eth1 (because its managed). the applet will not show connected. the CONNECTED from the log is about forcing the state queried by applications to guess the online/offline state (e.g. firefox, pidgin etc. offline modes).
