More info...

Note that I have the bcmwl-kernel-source package installed.

If I boot the laptop while disconnected to the lan, the network indicator applet doesn't appear in the indicator bar. Once I connect it to the lan via an ethernet cable, it will appear after a few moments, but it would only show that Wired Network.

If I boot while connected to the lan, the applet shows both Wired Network and Wireless Networks.

Furthermore, when I uninstalled the bcmwl-kernel-source package and booted while disconnected to the wired network, the indicator applet still doesn't appear. But once I connect it to the lan and the applet appears, it now shows both Wired Network and Wireless Networks and it connects to the wireless network. The wireless connection also stays on when I disconnect from the wired network.

HTH
