I'm using Ubuntu - the GNOME version.

I did a Hardy->Intrepid upgrade today (2008-10-26).
During the upgrade, I didn't get any dialog windows from NetworkManager.

But upon rebooting, there was no Network Manager applet in the GNOME panel,
and also no network - the NetworkManager daemon didn't try connecting by itself.
Bit hard to search for bug reports without it :-)

Also under "Add to Panel" there is no Network Manager applet or equivalent. (There's a Network Monitor applet but that's different).

I ran nm-applet from a terminal window, then it appeared in the panel.
It spit out 5 messages like this:

    ** (nm-applet:10138): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Invalid connection: 'NMSettingConnection' / 'type' invalid: 3

Clicking on the icon, I found it had decided to disable networking. (That explains why NetworkManager didn't connect by itself without needing the applet).

I re-enabled networking, then selected a wireless access point, and it was back to normal, i.e. before the upgrade.
