Bug Description
* Installed ubuntu using alternate cd ( server install) .
* Network Manager's applet shows no connection. Clicking on it shows that all interfaces are in "unmanaged" mode so that Network Manager has no control over them. This occurs without the user making any changes to the interfaces. User has not manually set the devices into unmanaged mode. How to correct it in the Network Manager -> Edit Connections dialog is unclear.
Details:
$ cat /etc/network/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-key XXXXXXXXX
wireless-essid XXXXXXXXXX

Is nm-applet disabled when you try to connect or did you disable it after connecting failed? And how are you finding "Wireless Networks: Device is unmanaged" if nm-applet is disabled? I'm rather confused by your explanation.
