Yes, it still exists.  I can confirm this issue with Ubuntu Karmic
(final release - updates through 05 Jan 2009).

What I have discovered however is the odd behavior whereby it matters if
the wireless switch (the physical one on the side of my keyboard) is
turned on or off during boot.

* If switch is on when I (re)boot the machine, NetworkManager doesn't see the 
wireless.  I can still connect through command line utilities, however.
* If switch is off when I (re)boot the machine, and then I turn it on after I'm 
on the desktop, NetworkManager then interacts with the wireless card.

Just relogging into X (as in a logout/login) with the wireless switch
off is /not/ sufficient to get NetworkManager to notice the card.

Does this perhaps have something to do with a race condition involving
Upstart?
