Again, it "looks like" it is working. This is what I have finally done:

- reinstall a fresh copy of Lubuntu 14.04 without updating software. Just the 
installed image version. At this point there is no wireless network.
- as a user (NO ROOT) you can open console and type "nm-applet". Network icon 
appears and allow you to select a wireless and to connect and use it. This is 
what is pointed out around the first comments of this thread but it was not 
working for me until I reinstalled the system (I was trying to recover a full 
upgrade from 13.10).
- at this point you can close the console if you wish. Network icon disappears 
but wireless keep on going.
- then I have performed a "apt-get upgrade" expecting to get into trouble but 
it still works as stated. 
- Now, it would be the right time to follow Hayden advice and install wicd to 
get rid of the nm-applet command every time lubuntu boot up. But I need it 
working right now and I'm going to keep it as it is for a few days before 
trying it again. However it should work as Hayden suggested.

I'm not wise enough to know why this is happening but I hope my
experience will save time to those who get here trying to switch their
wireless on again.
