Oh.. I should add: It wasn't just that the network manager wasn't there on boot, as in the bug title. If the network-manager service was started, the network manager would appear, but pretty much every entry in the drop-down would be greyed out, so no connections could be established, such as wireless/VPN etc. The only way I could get an internet connection was to first start the network-manager service and then plug in a cable.

Haven't had any network trouble before the upgrade. After the upgrade, the network-manager service does not start when the computer boots up - the Kubuntu splash screen says 'waiting for network configuration', then 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' (or something like that), then finally boots up without a network connection. Also the Network Management tray icon tooltip says that the network-manager service is not running. However if I then manually open the terminal and run 'sudo service network-manager start', then it starts ok and the network connects within a few seconds and everything works ok until the next reboot. I'm on a desktop PC with a wired LAN connection and no wifi adapter. network-manager version is 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28.
