Before when I've had problems with Network Manager, I've created a new
user and logged into Ubuntu using that and it's fixed the problems
with NM. I think this is because NM stores some of its settings in the
user's profile. If that doesn't work, I recommend trying WICD, as I've
found it less buggy than NM.
