This problem is confirmed for 12.04 Alpha 1. The version of NetworkManager that is installed is current (0.9.3.0) and all updates have been done (none held back).

The version of NetworkManager that works well in 10.04 LTS appears to be 0.8.0 based on the format of the deb file ie.
network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
(NB this older version does not have the --version switch so I'm unsure how to verify this)
By "works well" I mean it behaves as you would expect - if Mobile Broadband had been enabled previously it returns to that state when you resume from a suspend or hibernate, or when you power on. If the signal is lost because you pass through a 3G Blackspot it re-connects as soon as it gets a signal.

I'm unsure how I can get this bug moving from "incomplete" and of "low" importance to something that will be looked at. It would be nice if we could have this working for the LTS release because at the moment moment computing with current releases is a fail.
