This problem suddenly disappeared with me, and I have no idea how. I have no idea if it was from updates or so on.
However, just in case it is relevant, I currently use the following kernels: linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic-pae linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic-pae If my memory serves me right, I used to have some network errors in 2.6.31-15, and the nm-applet icon would not show up when it logged in until I restarted it. However, things were never smooth with me with image-2.6.31-15, and in the end, it just stopped booting up the system altogether and would hang on boot up. So I went back to 2.6.31-14 and since then did not have the nm-applet problem anymore. The issue is, since 2.6.31-15 hangs with me, I cannot confirm that the nm-applet issue is related to this kernel. Can others whose 2.6.31-15 kernel is working try to go back to 2.6.31-14 and see if it makes a difference with the nm-applet issue? As a side note, can anyone point me if there is a bug report for the 2.6.31-15 kernel issue I have?
