Bug Description
After a Xubuntu Live session was started, the Network Connections indicator (double arrow icon) was not shown in the XFCE panel.
I assume it should normally to appear just to the left of the clock.
I was able to start a terminal and see all my eth0 and wlan0 interfaces, and when I plugged in a network cable successfully acquired a DHCP address, thus the underlying network connectivity appears to be functioning.
Without this icon I was unable to scan for and connect to a wireless network easily.
As this functionality was here in Xubuntu precise alpha 2 and every other previous image I tested I assume something has been broken.
Note: when I instead tried with a manual installer session initiated from the syslinux menu, the installer was able to present me with a list of my wifi networks and signal strengths and obtain a DHCP address via wifi...
I was also able to repeat this in a qemu kvm session so this is not just a manifestation of my netbook.
