I am still affected by this bug on a fully updated precise. For me, this is
completely unrelated to 3G.
When I uncheck "Enable Wireless" in nm-applet, I cannot re-check it, and in
"Network Settings" I see airplane mode is on, which cannot be disabled.
This workaround helps (from
http://askubuntu.com/questions/119195/cannot-disable-airplane-mode):
sudo rfkill unblock wifi
