I see the same thing. It's just updated intrepid yesterday and it no longer works.
I purged and re-installed network-manager-gnome and network-manager

ps indicates that nm-applet is actually running, but not displaying anything.
If I kill it and re-start it, I get this:

I'm running a AMD64 with an atheros network card. I get no wired ethernet connection,
either, unless I run dhclient3 manually.
