I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I deleted network manager and do not see both wireless and LAN connection icons in the desktop, and for this reason I cannot connect to the internet.

I found the solution!
Network Manager ignores all connections listed in /etc/network/interfaces file. So, all I had to do was remove the settings of eth0 and after a restart, Network Manager automatically configured eth0 and internet connection was established.
Go to system settings -> Network -> wired
Then click on options, select IPV4 tab, and click on routes.
Finally enable the Use this connection only for resources of its network
This way Ubuntu will use only Wireless for accessing the Internet

Please open a terminal and do:
Amend the file to:
Proofread, save and close gedit. Now do:
Your ethernet should now be connected so that you can re-install NM or Wicd. After doing so, repeat the process but remove the eth0 lines if you select NM. I believe the eth0 lines may remain for Wicd.
