But how did you connect to 3G then? As per your description the airplane
mode should be activated then? How did you disable it? And what exactly
is airplane mode? Is that a hardware state in your computer? I have
never seen anything like that.

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:
  Incomplete

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.
