Bug Description
SRU INFORMATION: see comment 61
After I boot in to the LiveCD environment for Ubuntu 12.04, I click on the NetworkManager icon in the top-right of the screen and it's only showing four items:
-------
| ✓ Enable Networking
| ✓ Enable Wireless
| -------
| Connection Information
| Edit Connections...
-------
If I then select the "Enable Networking" or "Enable Wireless" option to disable that interface and then re-enable it, then the NetworkManager populates with all the normal menu items (listing of all WiFi SSID, VPN connection, etc.).

I have noticed the same situation on a installed and up to date version of Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit).
Clicking the NetworkManager icon only four items were available. But after deactivating and then activating the "Enable Wireless" option, all the items were again available.
I tried to log out and start a new session and also to reboot the system. Everything fine in both cases, the NetworkManager was still showing all the items.
