This happened to me yesterday in kubuntu 10.04. Resolved it with

service network-manager stop
rm  /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
service network-manager start

This is nasty - if you can't  get a network connection up manually and
don't have any other web access, it's very difficult to debug.

  knetworkmanager says "disabled", needs to reset networkmanager state

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plasma-widget-networkmanagement

  This issue cropped up a couple of days ago, after a lucid beta
  upgrade.

  knetworkmanager is running and showing its icon in the tray, however
  it does nothing, only reports that "Unmanaged"/"Network Management
  disabled".

  If connecting a cable to the ethernet port, I had to manually run
  dhclient to get a link, and I had to install wicd to get wireless.
