Wow, thank you so much for the detailed email -- I was a bit weary of
trying out things for a different version, but you seem to have
explained everything well and I would be happy to try it, and possibly
update instructions for Natty. However, the problem on the friend's
machine managed to fix itself in a rather strange fashion: I switched
from the Unity Desktop Shell to just using Gnome Classic, and then
network manager seemed to connect without problem. This seems totally
strange to me and I would have to do some more testing to confirm that
this is the case and not something else silly that I was doing.

Anyways, for now issue resolved by using Gnome (selecting Ubuntu
Classic at the login screen for 11.04) :-/ - will try and do some
follow-up debugging when I have access to the friend's machine and try
and confirm this behaviour.
