Oops indeed.

You mentioned before you have a wired connection.  I'm further assuming
you have a 'router' that manages the connection to your ISP, so all you
should need to do is issue the command:

sudo dhclient eth0

re-install network manager from synaptic.

In your next fix-it attempt, if network manager icon on desktop still
misbehaves. I would suggest creating a new user (with admin rights) and
log off then on as the new user.  This isn't suggest as a permanent fix,
it will confirm whether or not the problem is something broken in your
system, or simply a misbehaving configuration file in your user profile.
