See if it actually is running:

$ ps -e | grep NetworkManager
(note the caps)

You should get a response similar to:
 1262 ?        00:00:00 NetworkManager

If so, then Window(Super)key&Altkey - right click the panel|select 'Add
to Panel'|cick on 'Indicator Applet Complete|Click 'Add' and then
'Close'. If the NetworkManager does not show up, then:

$ killall NetworkManager

it should show up now.
