By the way, after I restart the NetworkManager service, the applet pops up, but I can't do much with it as it shows a warning sign and says "networking disabled" in the tooltip.
I'm guessing it might have something to do with this bug, but I might be wrong: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262 -- Network Manager 0.7 applet not Appearing if there are managed entries in /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
