Hey Jon,
Have you tried killing nm-applet and then running it from the
commandline? It's possible it might print an error message to the console...
As far as configuring wifi from the commandline, iwlist, iwconfig and
dhclient would be the three things I would use... iwlist scanning will
show you the info on access points, iwlist will take care of
associating, etc. and of course dhclient gets an ip address.
Cheers,
Vern

I'm running the Ibex beta on my laptop (IBM T40) and an update applied
yesterday caused the network manager applet to no longer function. I
have applied updates today and it hasn't fixed it. So I'm trying to see
if I can find an existing bug for it or at least sort out how to provide
relevant info.
According to `ps aux | grep nm` nm-applet is running with the
--sm-disable flag set. nm-applet does not appear in either the
notification area nor the applet list for the Gnome panel. Attempting to
kill and restart nm-applet yields no output nor responsiveness.
nm-applet has no manpage. Wired network works just fine.
Any ideas for where to start to find useful info for this issue?
How would I configure my wireless card manually from the terminal? I
have a hidden SSID and WEP encryption.

This time for sure!
