Bug Description
About 1 out of 3 boots on my HP TC4200, Wireless Networking is disabled upon logging in (I get an immediate notification that I am disconnected) requiring me to right click the network icon and 'enable'. I have been using 10.04 since December and this problem started happening around 1-2 weeks ago.

I have the same problem with an Ethernet connection.
Since I don't know much about network-manager internals, let's search for coincidences:
- Are there 2 connections with in network-manager? (right-click the "connection" icon, choose "Edit Connections...")
- Is your connection configured to be "Available to all users"? (mine isn't)
- What's your original installation? (mine was 9.10, gradually - and frequently - updated into 10.04)
