Right click on the panel applet and uncheck the wifi option. (I want to standby wifi capability when connecting through eth). Suspend then resume your pc. Wifi option is now checked and your computer is eventually connected to your home wifi LAN if NM was set to automatically connect.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 on an ASUS A7K.

Thank you.

There were some changes regarding the issue some time ago.

What version of NM do you use?
Could you paste /var/log/daemon.log file?
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2010-09-01 22:09:19 UTC 
Fixed; the issue was that the "Enable Wireless" state was nominally tied to rfkill state, which would override the state file.  Thus on reboot since rfkill was not blocking wifi, even if the state file said "off" NM would re-enable wifi since rfkill said wifi was on.  With the following commit, the user preference stays enforced regardless of the rfkill state.
