I am also seeing this after upgrading my main laptop from 14.04 LTE to 14.10. The fix for me is to sudo service start network-manager after I log in. While this is the first release upgrade show-stopper I've seen since the 6.04 -> 8.04 mishegas, this says to me that the testers are not using the same environment those of us who are seeing it use - if I had to guess, they're testing in a server environment (fine for LTE releases) and not Ubuntu-as-desktop. I'm wagering that the ugly hack of adding "service network-manager start" (or /etc/init.d/network- manager start) to /etc/rc.local is a work-around.
