Network Manager oddness (what's new you may ask!)

[Chris G]

Until recently the Network Manager applet in my top panel did what it
was supposed to do and caused no problems.

Just recently though (not sure when this happened as I rarely use it)
it seems to have lost the plot somewhat.  When I right click on it and
select Connection Information from the menu it just pops up amessage
box saying:-

    Error displaying connection information:
    No valid active connections found!

But everything is actually working fine, my computer is on a LAN
behind a router, I can see the other systems on the LAN and I can use
the internet as I always could.

If I click on Edit Connections then the *only* connection that Network
Manager seems to know about is a Mobile Broadband one which I don't
use and which is correctly set not to connect automatically.  Nothing
shows up in Wired which is where my working connection should be.
