I'm running the latest gutsy update:

Machine IBM thinkpad T42 with atheros wireless.
After a recent upgrade, an icon in the gnome toolbar,  "Network Monitor 2.12.1" 
showed up with a red cross on it.
Clicking on the icon showed this popup:
"Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem:
