Well first up, Network Manager is fantastic, but ......... it does not work with all drivers. I am yet to see it work when using ndiswrapper, if you are using ndiswrapper try using wifi-radar. If you are not using ndiswrapper, there is still a chance that Network Manager is not compatible with your driver (and hence why it is not in Ubuntu by default), though 90% of drivers work great.Ubuntu NetworkManager: Wow! I don't recall the last time I saw a more useless manual page, and the web site linked to the About box it just as useless. Not a single mention of how it works, what it does, what files it consults. The "Just Works" goal is laudable, but when it consistently gives the same wrong answer ("no networks available") it would be nice to have a teensy weensy *hint* on how to fix it.Can anyone shed any light on how /usr/sbin/NetworkManager comes to its conclusions? Or how to configure NetworkManager to come to the *right* conclusions? "strings /usr/sbin/NetworkManager" was interesting, but not sufficient. I suppose I could use the source, luke, but a mud map would help, before I go wandering off in unknown territory
First thing to check is that you have the card working, try doing a iwlist scanning and see if you get your network listed. Thats about all I can say, because my driver works great.
