Network Manager Disappeared

[jonlad1]

Hey guys I don't know what I've done but the network manager icon has disappeared from the taskbar and I don't know how to get it back.

Any ideas?
Cheers!

You probably disabled the panel widget. Try right-clicking the panel and choosing "Add to Panel" or some option that sounds like it, then look for the one that has to do with Wireless. Sorry for such vague instructions, but my Pandora is not near me, so I'm going off of memory. <.<

Have you tried checking Settings>>Sessions and Startup, and under the Autostart Applications tab checking to see if Network Manager is enabled?

I've had the menus and network manager disappear if the system runs out of memory. It should come back with a reboot though.
