Hi Michele. Forgive me for my bluntness here but bug 986920 refers only to wireless connections not showing up, while the behaviour I'm experiencing affects whole network-manager-applet. As stated before and shown in the first screenshot: all connections aren't visible. I need to plug ethernet cable in after login (and the icon nm applet on screen being visible) to render aviable/shown wired connections, VPN, and so on, If I boot with ethernet cable plugged in, or I plug it in too early, nm shows up as in the first screenshot. Also enabling and disabling wireless via killswitch or disabling/enabling networking does the trick. In other words, forcing nm to change state reverts its visualization as it should be. Indeed you posed a legitimate doubt.

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The following problem happened after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04: network manager applet in Unity-2D does not show properly network connections, but indeed networking is working properly. It happens only after a boot, not during session logout/login, the first 4 screenshot were taken as follows: - login (1): notice connection information window, the wired connection is working properly. - disabled (2)/enabled (3) networking brings contents of network manager applet in the correct state/appearance (4). Also via 'System Settings -> Hardware -> Network' I tried to toggle 'Airplane mode', which I don't know why it is always switched on (maybe cause wireless adapter is hardware switched off), wich led to nothing. Other workaround methods are: - unplugging and plugging back Ethernet cable, or plugging it after login. - enabling/disabling wireless adapter.
