following steps can solve the problem ( on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS only )

be sure your system is updated or just run "sudo apt-get update" then go 
ahead

1)  Download the following [a.b.c.d] packages in advance  as you will 
not be able to connect Internet after doing the step 2

         a. dhcp3-client  { 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dhcp3/dhcp3-client_3.1.3-2ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb 
}
         b. dhcp3-common { 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dhcp3/dhcp3-common_3.1.3-2ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb 
}
         c. network-manager { 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb 
}
         d. network-manager-gnome { 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager-applet/network-manager-gnome_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb 
}

(Above link is given for x86_64 ,  if you are on i386 system ,  download 
the appropriate packages for your architecture )


2) Remove  following[a.b.c.d,e]  packages  and restart the system ( 
NOTE:- you will not be able to connect the network after restart)

         a. dhcp3-client
         b. dhcp3-common
         c. ubuntu-minimal
         d. network-manager
         e. network-manager-gnome


3) Install the packages which we have downloaded in 1st step

         Now you are able to connect the network but applet will show 
you ,you are not !!

4) Add a PPA repository from this[1]

         [1] https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa

5) start the update manager and select ONLY the following[a,b] two 
packages ( don't select other packages if shown )

         a. network-manager
         b  network-manager-gnome
6) Restart the system

7) Remove the PPA repository which we have added in step 4 as we do not 
need it any more

8)  now install "ubuntu-minimal" through synaptic package manager

9) Restart the system ..... everything should be fine now...  connection 
as well as notification by the nm-applet

Cheers !!!
