Two considerations here. First, if you're using the stock nm-applet, you need to have a "notification area" applet on your panel, which is what nm-applet embeds itself in. Most desktops (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc) have a notification area. However, if you're using Ubuntu 10.10 or later, Ubuntu-specific modifications to nm-applet make the applet present itself using the generic menu indicator system (libindicator) and thus you have to have something that provides that indicator interface that nm-applet can talk to. Assumign you have the pre-requisites, you can simply type: nm-applet & and that will start nm-applet and return you to the command prompt. Or use your favorite login/session manager to simply spawn /usr/bin/nm-applet and it should show up.
