[Ruth Cheesley <280417@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe i experienced this problem on my HP G72 laptop with Kubuntu
11.10 as I ran the gui installer (as I needed to set up encryption) with
a wireless connection.

I can confirm that following the steps suggested by Nicholas Skaggs
(nskaggs) above, I was able to resolve this problem.

Title:
  Network Manager claims devices are unmanaged

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Network Manager's applet shows no connection.  Clicking on it shows
  that all interfaces are in "unmanaged" mode so that Network Manager
  has no control over them.  This occurs without the user making any
  changes to the interfaces.  User has not manually set the devices into
  unmanaged mode.  How to correct it in the Network Manager -> Edit
  Connections dialog is unclear.

  Details:

  $ uname -a
  Linux Lenovo 2.6.27-6-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 7 04:15:04 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

  $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  auto eth0

  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wireless-key XXXXXXXXX
