Is there anything in /var/log/debug about trying to authenticate,
associate etc?  You are seeing the networks and it seems like you have
all the necessary bits installed.

So it just spins when it is trying to connect...  Have you tried
right-clicking on the NetworkManager applet and go into edit connections
and seeing what the configuration is like for your network?

I had my wired DHCP connection disappear after upgrading to 9.10 from
9.04.  Maybe it is something like that.  After adding that it has been fine.
