See these two threads:

Seems knetworkmanager doesn't browse and show wireless networks once a network 
is manually configured.  This is my wife's laptop.  I can twiddle around with 
iwlist and iwconfig, but she shouldn't have to when she is travelling.  I 
hate when basic stuff that a lot of people need doesn't work.
