In fact it was not a NM problem at all. NM applet did not appear since my wireless connection was statically configured into /etc/network/interfaces. This was due to the fact that I disabled DHCP of my router some years ago.
Now I've a more straightforward setup, with no more entries into interfaces file and all is configured through NM and working PERFECTLY.
All I have to say is thanks to Alex and GNOME devs for his great work on that component of Ubuntu, which is actually a BIG step forward for the general user experience.
Now I really feel that 'it just works', no more tweaking to get wireless working!
