I have a Lenovo S12 (Intel Atom) on which network Manager does not work.

I have replaced it with wicd, and accepted work·around.

With the traditioanl Gnome, the wicd connection would appear in the system tray on the panel.

It is not showing on Unity (11.10). How do I get this to appear?

Apparently this is a limitation of the Unity design. See this bug report.

An example from my machine, you can add/remove things from or to it as Wicd only. Terminal: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'parcellite', 'Skype', 'hp-systray']"

There is No issue having Wicd in the systray for unity-3d in 11.10, the methods as described in the linked answers work fine, ie 'add to systray whitelist'

As far as in unity-2d it can work but - you need an updated unity-2d, the Daily-build ppa has one for 11.10

Then you need to edit the whitelist to just 'all'

While having to use 'all' instead of individually specifying is a less than ideal solution, atm for unity-2d it does work as expected
