Found a workaround. It's not the least bit elegant but it works.

Install Xubuntu.

Then:

sudo apt-get install unity

Then:

Install the Edubuntu Desktop  from the Software Manager.

Once that's done, everything works as advertised. There are probably
other ways besides installing Xubuntu. That's just the route I took.

Title:
  [Oneiric] No Wireless Functionality After Edubuntu Installation

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

Bug description:
  Edubuntu 11.10 64bit. Intel Corporation WIFI Link 5100 on a 64bit Sony
  VAIO

  Wireless works flawlessly with LiveCD. Post install, however, wireless
  doesn't work.

  During install, I checked off the option to install the wireless
  network.

  Symptoms (after installed reboot):

  1.) No wireless networks are shown as being available.
  2.) The wireless network which had been installed does not work.
  3.) If one disables wireless networking, it cannot be re-enabled without restarting.

  Removed installation and installed Xubuntu 11.10. Wireless works
  flawlessly after installation. The problems 'seems' to be Unity/Gnome
  related?
