This is not an issue with open wireless access points. I cannot confirm if it is an issue with WEP protected APs. I'm only able to vouch for the problem on WPA (PSK) protected APs.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-panel 1. everything works fine when connected via cat5, so start up with that. 2. nm-applet shows in the tray as expected 3. click the nm-applet icon and select a wireless access point (i happen to be selecting one that is WPA protected). - 4. after setting up the keyring association, click "allow access once" or "allow access always" and notice that the tray icon disappears. + 4. after setting up the keyring association, click "allow once" or "always allow" and notice that the tray icon disappears. i assume this is a crash within nm-applet.
