I too have this problem. I've recently upgraded both a laptop (using ath5k) and 
a PC (wired network) from 8.04.
The PC works fine.

On the laptop; I had reason to go into the new network manager, which
looks great but when I try to enter DNS servers for wlan0 and save, I am
shown an error dialog:

  Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection
update not supported (read-only)..

It doesn't ask me to authenticate as root, which I presume I must be to
do this.

resolv.conf seems to be cleared on boot, so when I have put nameserver
entries into resolv.conf myself so that I can google the problem, I must
do so again every boot. I can't find the equivalent network manager
configs to edit.

In 8.04 on this laptop I had madwifi ath drivers installed and I had to
do /etc/init.d/networking restart every boot before wireless network
would come up; so expected a problem or two..

On the laptop, resolvconf was found to be *not* installed after the
upgrade. (I've installed it now.)

I'm a programmer and familiar with Linux if I can help further. Congrats
on an overall great release of a great distro :)

Regards,
Matt
