Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Once in about thee bootups, network-manager starts in disabled state for no apparent reason. When switched on, it normally finds wifi networks and connects without a problem.
Release: Lucid (up-to-date as of March 18)
Version: 0.8-0ubuntu2
Hardware: HP TC1100 tablet PC
Network adapters:
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01)
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Atheros card is actually a PC-Card kept inserted all the time (it certainly was present during bootups in question).

The same has just happened to me on a desktop at work, when I resumed it from hibernation.
This desktop has no wifi but instead two Ethernet interfaces connected to two different networks.
It is possible that it also was caused by hibernation on my tablet as well, in some roundabout way, since the last time it happened, it was during a supposedly clean boot after a failed attempt to resume.
