[Bug 280417] Re: Network Manager claims devices are unmanaged
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:
