If his Notification Area has disappeared from his panel, add it back in.
Then NetworkManager Applet will have someplace to run. If the problem
is something else, then, I'm sorry, I can't help.
It' something else for sure. The notification panel is intact.
NetworkManager is refusing to start and the entries for the ethernet
connection are also gone.
Re-creating them manually so of is not working either. I'm having him
switch it from NetworkManager to the old-style Network service. So far,
no dice...
Cheers,
Chris
