I have this issue too. When I first started the laptop a notification showed me that wireless networks are available. I didn't notice if there was a network icon visible or not. Anyway, the network is visible in System Settings and after configuring it there a notification showed me that I was connected, but still no icon. Google came up fine.
I've killed gnome-keyring-daemon as suggested in the last post put nm- applet comes up with the following:- ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** (nm-applet:1971): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 ** Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon and hangs there - no icon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839883 Title: no network icon after upgrade to oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/839883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
