nm-applet is disabled randomly after startup

[Daniel_le_Rouge]

1) Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04

2) Package is not found in Synaptic.

3) I expect that program managing the wireless network connection (nm-applet) is started on every startup and detects a working wireless networking device.

4) The program sometimes does not start on startup despite being a startup program. So one need to start it manually which sometimes does not work as well. But the most important problem is that when nm-applet starts it is often disabled and cannot be activated. It says "Network connection disabled". The only possibility to get a working wireless connection is to reboot and hope that nm-applet starts activated. So sometimes I need to restart up to four times to get a working connection.

By the way the package should be on synaptic under the name network-manager-applet. It should also be installed by default. Did you remove it manually?
