nm-applet seems to have disappeared from my system. I am running 12.10. Here's what I get when I check my package manager logs:

What you could try is to reinstall your Ubuntu session. This won't delete any settings or personal data, just reinstall Unity and its packages. Just run this in terminal:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

If that doesn't work, re-install ubuntu-desktop metapackage and reinstall its dependencies (packages). Use this command:

sudo apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | sed '/^$/d' | xargs sudo apt-get install --reinstall --install-recommends --yes
