Awesome! Thanks for that post Mahdee Jameel!

I just went through quite a few updates, and now bnep0 and pan0 are showing up in network manager. Changing these from roaming mode to dhcp appears to have fixed my problem, both for Firefox and Pidgin, and with minimal configuration effort. When I want to use WiFi, I simply Enable Wireless Networking, and when I want to use my cell phone over bluetooth, I disable Wireless, and NM assumes I'm connected!

Thanks so much to the Ubuntu team and everyone who has helped with this!
