Network Manager Applet (nm-applet)

Nevermind... I figured it out. All I had to do was add the "Notification Area" to the panel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I installed openSuSE 10.3 (w/ the Gnome win-mgr) over my Fedora 8 installation, leaving intact the partition that contained my /home directory.

When I logged into my account for the first time, pretty much every Gnome applet I had displayed previously in F8 was missing from the panels. I've managed to restore many of them by manually adding them back, however I am stuck with trying to figure out how to restore the Network Manager Applet (nm-applet).

My wireless connection is working like a charm; I just don't have the ability to monitor the signal strength, nor to easily change to another access point.

Any ideas on how I can restore the nm-applet or something equivalent.

Congratulations, well done. And thanks for coming back to post what you did!

Cheers,

Hi, my problem is I have the notification area but the nm-applet disappeared and I don't know how to start it from startup.

If I go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications the Network Manager is there with the command "nm-applet --sm-disable" but the icon doesn't show in the notification area.

If I run the command "nm-applet" in terminal the icon appears in the notification area but I don't know how to close the terminal without stopping the process.

All I want is to have the icon to show when computer starts.
