I also have the same problem with a fresh Lubuntu 14.04 i386 install on a netbook HP mini 110 1140ep. My wifi card is a BCM 4312. It worked well on Lubuntu 13.10.
I enabled the broadcom driver The icon on the tray did not show so I open up the panel settings and added the network manager (I think this how it is called in english, I use it in a different language). Two icons appeared, 1 for the wired network which worked without problems and a 2nd for wifi. It showed the SSID available, asked me to type the password but nothing happened. After reading some tweaks I had no luck so I tried "try lubuntu option" to evaluate if it was an upgrade problem. Same thing happened. Enabling the driver, no icon, just the 2 icons when I added them to the panel and the same behaviour remained. Just for the sake of a test I tried UBUNTU 14.04, it is heavy on the hardware but I want to give it a try. It worked flawlessly. I am not experienced enough to provide any more help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348 Title: network settings indicator missing from panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1308348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
