I've only tested 12.04 beta1 from a live USB stick, but there definitely
seem to be a problem when connecting to a wireless network with the
ipw2200 driver. I have never before had any troubles with wireless in
Ubuntu since I started using it in 2008. The wireless interface is named
eth1 and it's been that way since 8.04
I'm suspecting that my issues are related to this since nm-applet
crashes when I try to connect to a wireless network from the control
panel app (gnome-nettool?) When clicking the network indicator all
secured networks are 'greyed out' and only unsecured networks are
clickable.
If I create a new network connection by running 'nm-connection-editor'
and manually enter my details I get connected, so the hardware is
working at least.

Title:
WIreless network device not managed
Status in “gnome-nettool” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've just installed the 12.04 Beta 1 on a Asus EeePC 1005 PE using
the alternate cd. However, I can't connect to any wireless networks
using the GUI. When I right-click on the network icon on the titlebar,
the option under "Wireless Networks" is greyed out and says "device is
not managed".
I am successfully able to scan for networks using "sudo iwlist scan".
Here is my output
