Hi!
Did you have to enable it in the panel in your autostart from the
Settings?  Or did you add it to the panel?
If you added it to the panel I suggest removing it and starting nm-applet.
You can open a terminal and type:
nm-applet &disown
To start automatically it add nm-applet to the autostart in the
Settings..  If you need help doing this, we can give more info!
