On F9, the NetworkManager applet makes you ADD the wireless network MANUALLY.
There are "Wired", "Wireless", "Mobile Broadband", "VPN", "DSL" tabs.
On each of those tabs, you have "Add", "Edit", and "Delete" buttons.
They don't show you the available wireless networks that it detects,
but you have to add them yourself, specify the SSID, etc.

Are we talking about the same NetworkManager ?
