Maverick (10.10)

This is the first release that supports MAC spoofing which I need for my cable service. The network manager applet seems to be very fussy and is prone to disappear from the notification area. In my case it turns out that I had some config data in /etc/network/interfaces and so NM applet passive-aggressively just decided to take its ball and go home. This helped: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/577678
