Installing and setting up Wicd solved the problem. After doing some research on Network Manager I have discovered that it has not reached a stable version yet (no version 1.0). Why is Ubuntu shipping with some very buggy applications which are used for critical tasks (eg managing network connections)? I am all for Ubuntu using Wicd (currently at version 1.6.1) instead of the very buggy Network Manager. Are there any plans to completely ditch Network Manager in the future for Ubuntu?
