I downloaded and tested xubuntu and it has the same problem. I should
probably download/install ubuntu desktop and try that... if the bug is
there too it will get more attention ;-) When I tested Xubuntu, I didn't
see a difference in networking really. Our icon doesn't show up if the NM
is not handling networking, xubuntu has the icon show up but it is not
usable as it should be.

I'll test ubuntu desktop now (this weekend) so they know about it.

Title:
  network manager applet doesn't work in precise

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In precise 12.04 alpha (dec 8 build, alt iso), Either or both Xubuntu
  or Ubuntustudio (and presumably others) when the iso is installed on a
  laptop/netbook using the wireless device for a network connection. On
  boot the network manager does not show a list of available wireless
  networks. (in Ubuntu Studio the applet doesn't even show) If the
  wireless connection started during boot fails, network manager is
  unable to cycle the connection.

  If the install is done by failing the network connect and installing
  with no network connection, on reboot the network manager works as
  expected.
