I had the very same problem described here after updating to 10.04.
lshw -C network was reporting disabled and all enabling option grayed out on the networking applet.
NetworkManager.state was also set to false. Changing these did nothing.

However after setting:
ifupdown managed=false to true in
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
(which I noticed after doing a "/etc/init.d/networking restart")

..and rebooting, network was back up. Mr. Tinsays method did not work for me,
being somewhat of a newbie, hope this is related and helps. :)

System being a HP DV5 with AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter.
