NetworkManager forgets that »Enable Networking« had been asserted

[Detlef Lechner]

[Lucid] NetworkManagerApplet 0.8 after restart forgets that »Enable Networking« had been asserted although it was asserted when shutting down. The same applies when hibernating and thawing.
I can correct that by NetworkManager Applet > right-click > Enable Networking and '~$ sudo dhclient eth0'.
I call this a regression.
I expect that NetworkManager Applet does not forget this setting.

This bug was marked Incomplete some time ago and was supposed to autoclose after 90 days. I'm going to close it manually due to no activity (and likely the issue has gone away/been fixed).
