No internet connection after Ubuntu 11.10 upgrade

Looks like upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 from 11.04 hosed my calibre installation.

Seems to have overwritten my latest version and installed the packaged version (0.8.8), which failed with the error message below, then I ran: "apt-get remove calibre", then reinstalled the latest version with the linux code on the calibre install page. Still the same error below:

calibre, version 0.8.22
ERROR: No internet connection: Cannot download news as no internet connection is active

But clearly I do have an active internet connection. Anyone have any idea where I should start to try to fix it?

Update: after trying some new search terms, I found similar problems from a while back and followed the advice to remove the "network-manager" packages. This made the internet unavailable, but after a reboot, it came back and calibre now works as expected.

However, I'm without the benefits (whatever they are) of the network-manager packages, which seem to be related to wifi, bluetooth etc. I'm not using those on this machine at the moment, but does anyone have a sense of what parts of those packages were causing problems for me and how we can get them and calibre to work together?
