    Where'd it go?? Why? How can I get it back.

    Curiously, if I create a new user s/he DOES have the icon on the panel
    as does a previously created user.

    I also checked my settings>users/groups>advanced>User Privileges tab and

First I'd try sudo service network-manager restart

Then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager, in particular sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
or you can try to reinstall from synaptic

Restart brought back a network connection. install says latest is already installed. (I note that install would not have worked if I did not have an Internet connection.)

HOWEVER, the icon for network manager is still gone and status on that is as previously described. SO, I can not choose a network and can not access my VPN connection.
