Today I successfully upgraded my system from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10. All went well and I was feeling happy about the Lightgdm interface and the improved window management system. Then I noticed my network manager applet icon which was in offline or disconnected mode, to my surprise I was able to go online without any issues.
I then checked in the Network manager config file found under
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and I came across ifupown managed=false, So I quickly stopped the Network Management service and changed the [ ifupdown managed] value to true and all went back to normal.
Steps to get it going:
Firstly, stop the network manager service by typing in terminal:
sudo service network-manager stop
Open nautilus in sudo mode by typing in terminal:
sudo nautilus
Goto etc/NetworkManager and open NetworkManager.conf.
Change the managed value to true:
Restart the Network Manger service by typing in:
sudo service network-manager start
And after that your Network Manger should be back online.

Cool tutorial...very useful. Keep going with the work. I am a very proud Ubuntu user and I love it.
My girlfriend has this problem on her desktop machine. I searched and this seemed the most convincing solution, but... I went to *my* networkmanager.conf file on a working laptop and mine also says managed=false, which makes me think it must be something else?
Maybe just starting and stopping your network-manager service did it instead, any ideas?
Worked for me - thanks. MT
I had the same problem and I fixed it just by stopping and starting the network-manager.
Anyone help me,,i can finish all the step but still tat won't come,..
