Charles,
You asked in another thread where I recommended network-manager whether
there was a substitute for those using static IP addresses. I'm sorry
it has taken me so long to get back to you.
The problem that you have above would not really be solved by
network-manager, even if you were using dhcp. Finding wireless networks
is on a more fundamental level than nm operates. Nm works very well at
helping with encryption and network switching issues, but not with
finding access points. You probably have fundamental issues with
whether the card is really working with the drivers.
To start, look here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
for your card. It looks like there are multiple versions of your card,
so you will need to figure out which version you have.
I would guess that you have the vE1, as that one requires some more work
to get it to work properly.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-520vE1
Good luck and HTH,
-Matt
