Default Ubuntu 9.10 + MacBook 4,1 problems

Okay, so this started a few days ago. I ran the updater and around 112Mb of updates were available. I downloaded and installed them and for some reason my Network Manager doesn't start. It says "NetworkManager is not running..."

I check my startup programs and it says it's starting up upon boot, but it's not.

I've also tried manually restarting it, force restarting it, stopping it, etc from the Terminal, but still no luck

Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't have an Ethernet cable laying around, so I can't try wired connections.

What did it say when you tried manually restarting it?

Have you tried to kill the NetworkManager process, and the nm-applet process and then rerun them again?

Yep. And turning it off from the Startup programs and manually starting it. No luck there, either.

And it doesn't output anything on the terminal? Strange...
Have you tried to install another network manager application? You may try wicd. Type "sudo apt-get install wicd" on the terminal.

Not yet. I'll try it as soon as I can get an Ethernet cable and as soon as I'm home
