Title:
  NetworkManager does not configure Wi-Fi adapter; dhclient can -- Intel
  PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I have ubuntu linux 9.10 for x86-64 platform and my kernel version is : 
2.6.31-15-generic.
  The version of Network-manager is 0.8 a git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu 
downloaded from ubuntu official repository.

  My problem has appeared since the last update.
  The problem is that the wireless adapter (Intel PRO / Wireless 4965 AGN) is 
not activated by network-manager during the startup and even through the manual 
execution of network-manager.
  Gnome applet under "Wireless Networks" is given: "wireless network disabled".

  If I start network-manager with the command NetworkManager - no-daemon
  I get the following output:

  f...:~$ sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon
  NetworkManager: <info>  starting...
  NetworkManager: <info>  modem-manager is now available

  NetworkManager: <info>  exiting (error)

  If I configure the wireless network via the commands:
  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
  sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid...
  sudo dhclient

  the network is functioning properly even if NM continues to indicate
  inactive.

  If I uninstall nm

  sudo apt-get purge Network-manager

  and then reinstalled with

  sudo apt-get install network-manager

  nm for the next reboot it works correctly. It comes back again to the
  second reboot after installation.

  File /etc/network/interfaces conents:

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  The Ethernet interface is handled correctly. 
  By menu on NM-applet on Gnome can not choose "enable wireless network"
