I had two different computers with this problem, both running 10.04 LTS, one an old 32-bit Ubuntu, and the other a 64-bit Kubuntu. #18 fixed them both.
Thank you!
BTW, I agree that this is a serious problem for Ubuntu. Wicd appears to be the preferred, maybe superior, network/wireless manager, not network-manager, so, perhaps when wicd gets installed, it should automatically remove the (interfering) network-manager stuff.
Echo in the room? #18 worked for me, too.
