I am still affected by this bug on a fully updated precise. For me, this is
completely unrelated to 3G.
When I uncheck "Enable Wireless" in nm-applet, I cannot re-check it, and in
"Network Settings" I see airplane mode is on, which cannot be disabled.
This workaround helps (from
http://askubuntu.com/questions/119195/cannot-disable-airplane-mode):
sudo rfkill unblock wifi

Title:
Airplane Mode is turned on when WiFi is turned off, even though I
don't want Airplane Mode: I want to use 3G
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Package: Network properties, what ever it's called.
When turning off WiFi, Airplane mode is automatically turned on. If I
then turn off Airplane Mode WiFi is turned back on. This is especially
annoying if I'm about to connect a USB 3G-dongle for instance, whereas
I don't want to use WiFi, but I want to disable it before connecting
the dongle.
12.04 LTS. It was the same in Linux Mint 12 iirc.
