get the network-manager package
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/powerpc/network-manager/0.5.1-0ubuntu19
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/i386/network-manager/0.5.1-0ubuntu19

if you get a message about "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue." then run
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
(see Bug #37128 )
(i had to run it with sudo)
