Bug Description
Laptop: DELL Vostro 1520
lsb_release -d: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
uname -a: Linux vostro 2.6.31-11-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 11:55:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
What I expected to happen:
I installed Ubuntu Karmic BETA today and expected my wireless adapter (Intel PRO/Wireless 5300 AGN) to be able to scan for networks and connect to a desired one.
What actually happened:
Whether I booted into the live OS or installed onto HD (and fully updated), clicked on nm-applet in top right and it told me "Wireless is disabled" even though physical switches are enabled and it works fine in other OS's (Jaunty and Vista). When I right-click nm-applet "Enable Wireless" is greyed out and un-selected.

( p.s. Karmic presents as most polished yet! )
