Stupid Networking Mistake (On My Part)

I somehow managed to delete Network Manager on a working Jaunty system.
This was not a big problem since I had an APT on CD disk and simply
restored NM, which is working fine now.

My problem is on a Ubuntu/Windows dual boot system in another location.
I Put the exact same NM on this system that I have on the systems I
mentioned earlier, and, it does not see the wireless network.  This
system works fine on a wired port, but refuses to recognize the
wireless.   When I right click on NM and "Enable Wireless", nothing
happens.  Windows works fine on the wired AND the wireless networks.  I
am able to use printers across on all systems and from all systems.

I'm sure that this is another stupid mistake on my part, but I don't
know where to go from here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John
