It's there, but it's impossible to get to through normal keyboard
navigation.  :-(  This is a major bummer.  We're all frustrated by it
and are putting pressure on the gnome-panel maintainers to remedy the
situation.  Keep an eye on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103223 for activity on this
problem.

In the meantime, you might be able to set up wireless the 'old way',
which involves editing files by hand and running various command line
utilities.  It's a thought I shudder at.  :-(
