That could work, but it's better to do that for the short-term just to
verify that the wifi driver, kernel, and card are working correctly.  If
that's the case, there's no reason NetworkManager shouldn't work for
you.

This probably isn't the right list for this, but feel free to drop a
mail to networkmanager-list@gnome.org for more help.  You may get a
reply about "non-subscribers cannot post to list" but I'll moderate your
mail through since I'm the list admin.  More info here:

http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

and we can try to debug your issue there.
