Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar gone

[gold_finger]

The wifi icon should be part of the "Indicator Plugin" on the panel (I believe).  Maybe you accidentally deleted the Indicator Plugin.

Right-click an empty area on the panel, then choose:  Panel -> Panel Preferences -> Items (tab).  Scroll through list of "Items" to see if "Indicator Plugin" is one of them.

• If it is not there, do the following to put it back on the panel:
  • [li]While in Items tab, click the "+" to add a new item
    
  • Find "Indicator Plugin" on the list that pops up and click to highlight it; then
    
  • Click the "Add" button; then "Close" button
    
  • It will now be at bottom of Items list
    
  • If you want to change its position on the panel, use arrow buttons
    
  • Click "Close" when done and hopefully the wireless icon is back again.

• If plugin is still showing in the Items list, try the following:
  • [li]Click the Indicator Plugin to highlight it; then
    
  • Click the icon below the "X" icon to "Edit the currently selected item"
    
  • In the Indicators window, click "Clear known indicators" button to reset to defaults
    
  • Hopefully that restores the wifi icon

Good luck.
