What is "something"?
Did it pick up the AP you are hoping to use?
If so, it seems to me that NM _is_ working.
Do you know what kind of encryption the AP is using?
Did you try clicking on the NM applet in the panel?

IMHO, NM is very, very bad at telling you
where the connection is breaking down
if it does not connect cleanly.

The NM developers suffer from the delusion
that NM always works.
