Actually the nm-applet is running and I can see its icon in the notification area (of gnome). What I want to do is to see the panel with all the networks available and all the options. When I do type : nm-applet , it ouputs: an instance of nm-applet is already running Ah, so do you mean you want a command-line list of available networks, or you'd like some mechanism to cause nm-applet to drop it's menu down and show networks, or something else? Dan Hello, Iin fact, I want a command line to cause nm-applet to drop it's menu down and show networks, like when I click on the nm icon in the notification area Julien Try to look at Dogtail [1] or LDTP [2]. Both should provide a solution for you, I think.
