Getting the network applet back in Ubuntu 10.4
Suddenly the little icon that show your network connection status was gone. This was a bit of a problem since I could not configure the computer to connect to a wireless network anymore.
It turns out that the applet behind the missing icon is called nm-applet. Trying to start it with:
nm-applet
did not work since it was reported to be already running. Well, we can do something about that:
killalll nm-applet
nm-applet
and it turned up again
