[Bug 892454] [NEW] network-manager starts up with wireless disabled

 

Public bug reported:

Lubuntu 11.10
network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5

As I have wireless connections already setup-- ones that connect
automatically and are available to all users-- I would expect these
connections to, well, connect automatically upon startup. Just like the
ethernet ones do!

Instead, nm-applet appears greyed out. Right clicking on the icon finds
wireless, as with all the other connections (though, admittedly, there
are no relevant connections set up), unchecked. If I, then, click on
wireless, my connection automatically starts up. Therefore, the problem
seems to be not in the connection, but in the fact that the wireless is
disabled.
