jfernyhough has found a better fix here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
Change the default policy context in both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf so it says 'allow' instead of 'deny'.
<policy context="default"> <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> </policy>
Then restart dbus
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
and launch the applet
nm-applet
