Network manager problem

[Kenneth P. Turvey]

I was quite thrilled with how well the gnome network manager applet worked
with my wireless card after getting my new Dell with Feisty Fawn
installed.  But then it quit.  It used to list the nearby wireless
networks and allow me to connect to them.  It would even automatically
connect if I had connected to them before.  Now it doesn't do any of that.
There is no indication that it is doing anything.  When I click on it
there is a grayed out menu item with "wired network" in it and an enabled
menu item that says "manual configuration".  There isn't anything else. 

Does anyone know what would cause this or how to fix it?  I really liked
the way it worked before.  

Thanks.
