Comment 27 for bug 555571

I have the same problem as post 18. To clarify this usually isn't a problem with "Gnomes" Network Applet, generally this happens when KDE's Applet is used. Several times i was forced to log off switch to gnome enable networking that way then revert to KDE to use my wireless. This fix should save me a lot of time. I can't fathom as to why this is being switched to false. I am running KDE 10.04 LTS, and normal Ubuntu. KDE is my default display manager.
