This problem is confirmed for 12.04 Alpha 1.  The version of
NetworkManager that is installed is current (0.9.3.0) and all updates
have been done (none held back).

The version of NetworkManager that works well in 10.04 LTS appears to be 0.8.0 based on the format of the deb file ie.
network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
(NB this older version does not have the --version switch so I'm unsure how to verify this)
By "works well" I mean it behaves as you would expect - if Mobile Broadband had been enabled previously it returns to that state when you resume from a suspend or hibernate, or when you power on.  If the signal is lost because you pass through a 3G Blackspot it re-connects as soon as it gets a signal.

I'm unsure how I can get this bug moving from "incomplete" and of "low"
importance to something that will be looked at.  It would be nice if we
could have this working for the LTS release because at the moment moment
computing with current releases is a fail.

Title:
  Mobile Broadband must be enabled after every power on, suspend,
  hibernate, or signal loss

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

Bug description:
  I have auto connect set for my 3G mobile broadband connection, but at
  every power-on or resume from suspend or hibernate I have to re-enable
  mobile broadband before it will auto connect.  This is made worse by
  bug #566812 where a disconnect can also disable the mobile broadband
  completely.

  With 10.04 3G connections while on the move were reasonably robust and
  reliable, however NetworkManager under Ubuntu 11.10 is flaky and
  unreliable.
