Updated to 2.6.31-15-generic (karmic-proposed) and the E169 shows connection in the network-manager. Was working alright at first update yesterday night but today it is showing problems again. It shows as connected through the network-manager but doesn't actually get connected ( I can't surf internet or either ping through terminal). Anyways i found a work-around on ubuntu forums- establishing connection through PPPD. The internet works correctly through it!
