Title:
  nm-applet system tray drop-down menu items missing

Status in Network Manager Applet:
  New
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading Asus EEE-1215N from 11.10 --> 12.04, the nm-applet
  dropdown menus, right- or left-click, on the system-tray nm icon show
  only 'Enable Networking', 'Enable Wireless', 'Connection Information',
  'Edit Connections...'. Other items such as the list of wired and
  wireless interfaces, available hotspots, wireless connection options,
  and VPN options, are not present at first. After a variable time,
  usually more than 5 minutes  and as much as ~1 hour after boot-up /
  login, the missing items appear.

  At all times the network connections, wired and wireless, work
  normally, except of course that I cannot connect to a different
  wireless spot or start a VPN connection. All the nm-applet menu items
  appeared right away under 11.10; this delayed behavior appeared only
  upon upgrading.
