Dunno. Does the documentation describe the pizza slice (onion layer?) (wavefront?) icon? where is it?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager is not obviously related. What's this '2 computer' stuff? https://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/users/ says it is easy, but has no screen grabs or illustrations http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=gu8HBkKLu_oC&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq =network-manager- applet+ubuntu+documentation&source=bl&ots=Zopo0pZKjt&sig=Oxm3yZMFL2rQ4sqRjcFdto9HXZw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=GD5PUojIF8WU0AXxyIGQDw&ved=0CHMQ6AEwCDgK#v=onepage&q =network-manager-applet%20ubuntu%20documentation&f=false seems to be years out of date.

It works, quickly, and nicely. When it connects I am left with an icon of grey arcs with a red pling or exclamation mark on the right. Plings usually mean there is something wrong. I have been right through the right-click items, the help installed in the distro, and the wiki linked to by the 'about' page. Googling is no help. There is nothing to explain what the pling is trying to tell me, or what I am supposed to do about it.
