It appear to be working now.  Thanks.  I am experimenting with
restarting the laptop, wireless point, plugging and unplugging the
ethernet to see how reliable the network detection is.

If my laptop is already on and then the wireless access point is
turned on, the network-manager does not appear to detect it.  (Or
maybe I need to be more patient?)

Do I need to use "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" in this situation?
