[Bug 829577] [NEW] Network manager reports wireless card as "Device Not Managed"

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 11.10, I sometimes get the error in the network
manager applet "Device Not Managed" under the wlan0 and wlan1 cards in
my laptop. Its always in wlan1 (a USB plug & play linksys 802.11g, don't
have it available to me atm), and on occasion the wlan0 card (inbuilt
card, no clue what it is). At this point, I go into the terminal and try
to set it up with iwconfig, but either I can't figure it out or it
doesn't work, because it won't allow me to do anything, even as root.

I run an Asus K50ij laptop, only modification is 4 GB of ram instead of
3.
