My individual issue is fixed. I tested it at an additional access point.

A major surprise along the way included the first functional appearance
of the applet apparently only triggered by unplugging the Ethernet
cable.

The documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
looks like a good start. But "unmanaged" doesn't occur anywhere there.

I do think some googling will find pain out there around NetworkManager.
Finding patterns in that pain and adjusting the documentation could
help. The not-yet-appeared state of the applet seems to be one of these
pain points.

nm-tool might have been useful before the applet appeared. I didn't find
nm-tool until after things were working.

Thanks very much, Alexander.
