Confirming the issue in Maverick. The issue was there in Lucid as well. This happens when I use Mobile Broadband connection. The applet vanishes from the system tray but this does not affect the Internet connection.
When I run nm-applet from the terminal I get the following message: $nm-applet ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area ** (nm-applet:19421): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 ** (nm-applet:19421): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 Distro: Ubuntu 10.10 x86 Network Manager Applet: 0.8.1 -- nm-applet vanished, disappears from tray https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
