Me and my wife share a netbook (Ubuntu 10.10), and are usually both logged in and just "switch user". Everything works great until the first logged in user logs out. The netbook including the second user is then disconnected from the wireless network, and since the second user doesn't see any network manager applet in the GUI it not obvious how to reconnect. The only solution I have found that doesn't require opening a terminal shell is to log out and log in again. The very least there should be a way to restart the network manager applet in the GUI. This is a major flaw unless Ubuntu has a stated goal to be a single user system.
