Bug Description
After upgrading Asus EEE-1215N from 11.10 --> 12.04, the nm-applet dropdown menus, right- or left-click, on the system-tray nm icon show only 'Enable Networking', 'Enable Wireless', 'Connection Information', 'Edit Connections...'. Other items such as the list of wired and wireless interfaces, available hotspots, wireless connection options, and VPN options, are not present at first. After a variable time, usually more than 5 minutes and as much as ~1 hour after boot-up / login, the missing items appear.
At all times the network connections, wired and wireless, work normally, except of course that I cannot connect to a different wireless spot or start a VPN connection. All the nm-applet menu items appeared right away under 11.10; this delayed behavior appeared only upon upgrading.
