I can confirm this with ipw2200. Sometimes after boot nm-applet is running but isn't shown in tray and Wlan connection isn't established. After system reboot it works normally fine again. I have restarted Network-Manager with "sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart && sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restart" which lets nm-applet appear in tray for some seconds but then it was vanished again. According to syslog there was a problem with wpa_supplicant and according to ps it was still running so I killed it. After another Network-Manager restart nm-applet was shown again in tray and connection was established fine. So at least for me it is no nm-applet problem but a Network-Manager and it seems to be for at least some others too. So the workaround is to run this command "sudo killall wpa_supplicant && sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25Networager restart" but since it happens on nearly every second Gutsy start it is no solution.
