Here is a nice visual guide to fix the nm-applet:

It is always a good idea to post specific information to specific 
questions.  What is the make and model of your USB dongle?  I have heard 
that some USB dongles act as a storage medium also, and if they are 
automounted will ignore the connectivity part, and only use the storage 
part.  You can disable automounting USB in PCManFM settings (Volume 
Management).
Though, more info would be needed to find out about your device.

create an account here:

and post your bug report!
Alternatively you can search askubuntu.com or ask questions about your 
device, as someone else may have had this same problem and already found 
the solution.

You, are the most important part of this community effort.  You have the 
hardware with the issue, so only you can accurately report those bugs.  
Many people here have knowledge about using the terminal, and some of 
the intricate parts of the system, but do not have your dongle.  
Together we can help each other to make this better for others.  Thanks 
for taking the time here to do this!
