Machine is a Lenovo T400 with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
Wireless card installed is an Intel PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN mini-PCIe adapter.

In the menu bar icon, under Wireless Network, it says 'device not managed'.
iwconfig shows the card as managed. lshw provides this info (extra line breaks added for clarity):

Ubuntu 12.04 comes with Network Manager installed by default. It is designed to take over all the difficult work of network configuration. It assumes that if you have populated /etc/network/interfaces that you will do the hard work and it will not manage your connections. That is exactly what you see: '...In the menu bar icon, under Wireless Network, it says 'device not managed'.'
If you wish NM to manage your network connections, remove all the wlan0 entries from /etc/network/interfaces leaving only:
Reboot and NM will take over management. Frankly, if it works for you, there is nothing really wrong the way it is now. It just appears a bit unusual because it's telling you that the wireless device is not managed by NM.
