Just experienced unmanaged device problem on my laptop and it came "out of nowhere", to use wireless I had to plug in another wireless usb adapter, I also deinstalled all blue-tooth stuff I had installed in case it interferes with wireless because it is on same adapter on myhp 6730b notebook :
lsusb
Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface [Integrated Module]

anyway integrated wireless would not work until I changed managed=disabled to managed=true in NM config file. But it did work for months on previous setting....

so what should be in that config file and what it means, I checked man page and http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ but didnt found info. I had few settings on that line working, managed=true,false,disabled, enabled
I am considering to remove network manager and use simple iwconfig script for wireless :-(.
