thats a problem. 1. please start nm-applet from the console and post what you see there (killall nm-applet to ensure that its not running before doing that). 2. provide the output of: ldd /usr/bin/nm-applet 3. if the applet isnt shown, please check how many NetworkManager processes are running 4. if you have anything in your /etc/network/interfaces (except the "lo" interface lines), you certainly might end up with wierd issues. edit that file and comment out everything that doesnt belong to "lo". > > 2) Now when I goto 'edit connections' or am prompted to enter my wifi > password the box is now empty, rather than filled with the long key I > posted above. Thats ok for system-connections. Its a security feature to not show the password there. maybe this could be presented in a better way. yes. > > 3) Also keys are no longer saved in seahorse at all (i.e. if I choose > not to save as a system setting.
