[Impact]

 * NetworkManager's applet loses its menu.
 * User is unable to connect to wifi, and this affects the usability of Ubuntu

[Test Case]

Boot the system from live cd, and click on the NetworkManager icon in the top-right of the screen and it's only showing four items, and no wifi connections available

--------------------------
| ✓ Enable Networking
| ✓ Enable Wireless
| ---------------------- |
| Connection Information
| Edit Connections...
--------------------------

[Regression Potential]

* I dont see any regression potential

[Workaround]

Click "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.).
