I'm not sure how to get back the contextual menu, but if you want to
revert to the previous version of NetworkManager, then these are the
steps involved:

* remove network manager
* purge apt cache
* remove the PPA lines you added to /etc/apt/sources.list
* update your apt sources
* install old network manager
