All kind of combinations didn't work. I still can't see the applet on the bar. I restarted the services, and tried to disable the network service too (despite this is not mentioned in the referenced link above, I read elsewhere that if you enable the NetworkManager service you may consider disabling the network service. That was another test I also made. But still no success...) I already made sure that my notification area is there, of course. Can you think on anything else I can try? </blockquote></div>$ /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start $ NetworkManagerInfo should work, after that make sure you save your session before close GNOME.
