[Solved] nm-applet not appearing in gnome panel

Hi all.

I recently replaced my wired network card with a wireless one.
I then followed the instructions at the following pages to get the correct software installed:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … orkManager
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

My only problem now is that nm-applet does not appear in the gnome panel.
Both nm-applet and networkmanager are running though, but the network is not up.
If I then kill nm-applet and run it from the command line, it the creates the icon in gnome-panel and automatically connects to my wireless network.

I've looked through all the related posts but I can't find anything that helps.

I've tried to make my DAEMONS section of rc.conf as simple as possible:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond dbus networkmanager alsa)
but that didn't help either.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

As a side note I have a another machine with exactly the same wireless card with a fresh install and it works perfectly with regards to nm-applet.
Perhaps it's a config setting that is causing the problem?
