Hello,
I had the same problem while on a long European trip. I ended up
selecting a network through a CLI command:
$ nmcli d wifi connect NetworkName password "password" iface wlan0
worked fine but you need to know the name of the network of course.
Needed to be done only once, after the network manager knows the new
network it will connect to it automatically.

My network manager icon is gone from a panel and no setting or

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 Connect to wireless and ethernet networks is checked.

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.
