wlan0 working, but... not really working... any help?

I recently had a problem with my home partition under an Ubuntu 10.04 install on my Inspiron 1545. I've been considering switching to Debian for a while and I figured that I would just switch instead of try to fix the problem.

I used the Debian x86_64 net install disk, but part way through, I received a message stating that I had to load wireless drivers from external media. I did this and got through the install with no problems.

My problem now is that I cannot get nm-applet to recognize ANY wireless networks. The computer automatically connects to my home network (the one I set up in for the install) but nm-applet won't recognize anything, even the network the computer is connected to.

I've been forced to pull up a terminal and use iwconfig everytime I want to connect to a new network, I like working CLI, but you can probably imagine how annoying that can be at times.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be, and how I can fix it? If more info is needed to find the problem, let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.

Thank you in advance for any help.

My first question would be, what is the model of your wireless card?

I believe an lspci -v would provide the details we would need.

Then possibly an lsmod to determine what modules are loaded. You said you loaded external drivers, what drivers did you load?

What does iwlist scan output? If it displays the networks in the area, then it's most likely an issue with NetworkManager or nm-applet.

I'm not entirely sure what all of that means, but I know enough to assume there's something wrong there...

That's the interesting thing. It means you can scan all the networks in the area just fine. That's essentially a listing of networks. It means that, most likely, your kernel driver is working and it's an issue with network manager. I'm not 100% sure where to go from here, other than recommending that you check out #nm on freenode if possible...

EDIT: output of sudo grep NetworkManager /var/log/daemon.log
