I think so, My desktop has U Studio 11.04 and I have it set as a static ip
using the init.d stuff. NM on that machine shows ath0 as "not managed"
too.

I had thought of that, but figured even if that did work the install was
still broken. However, I will try it on my next install. I will also be
downloading ubuntu desktop (Alternate) and try that. I suspect the live CD
version may not have this problem, just the alternate install. I haven't
tried Xubuntu live CD, just the alt and it has this problem too. I don't
really have the time to start trying live cd installs right now... the
alts keep me busy enough.

Title:
  network manager applet doesn't work in precise

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

Bug description:
  In precise 12.04 alpha (dec 8 build, alt iso), Either or both Xubuntu
  or Ubuntustudio (and presumably others) when the iso is installed on a
  laptop/netbook using the wireless device for a network connection. On
  boot the network manager does not show a list of available wireless
  networks. (in Ubuntu Studio the applet doesn't even show) If the
  wireless connection started during boot fails, network manager is
  unable to cycle the connection.

  If the install is done by failing the network connect and installing
  with no network connection, on reboot the network manager works as
  expected.
