Before I rebooted, I went into the network configuration application and enabled "Controlled by Network Manager". Prior to right now I had that disabled, because I was setting things manually. $ ps aux | grep nm xxx 3606 0.0 0.3 67008 10180 ? S 08:47 0:00 /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable root 3632 0.0 0.1 8172 3740 ? S 08:47 0:00 /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf What does "--sm-disable" mean ? I don't have an icon anywhere that I can use to set which wireless connection point I want to use. How do I get an icon in a panel for nm-applet ?
