NetworkManager uses combination of Linux Wireless Extensions and the wpa_supplicant program. The problem with the dscape stack is that it does not yet have support for Linux Wireless Extensions, which is the standard way to configure wireless cards and drivers on Linux. The dscape stack is also not upstream in the Linux kernel yet and is still considered experimental. Once the dscape stack gets WEXT compatibility (or, gets converted to cfg80211/nl80211 which is the successort to WEXT and has WEXT compatibility), then NM should work with the d80211 stack. dscape just isn't quite there yet to be able to be widely used.
