NetworkManager doesn't detect networks

NetworkManager will not detect the avialable networks, whereas wifi-radar will.  It always reports "No network connection."  I believe I set up my rc.conf as described in the wiki.  Here it is:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# LOCALIZATION
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Canada/Pacific"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
MODULES=(ibm-acpi nvram)
USELVM="no"

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="gilgamesh"

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
lan0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !lan0 !wlan0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond acpid)

I have been manually starting:

/etc/rc.d/dhcdbd start
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start

Any ideas?

Re: NetworkManager doesn't detect networks

You should add dhcdbb and networkmanager (in this order) to the daemons in rc.conf.

Re: NetworkManager doesn't detect networks

But shouldn't starting them via the /etc/rc.d scripts work just fine as well?  I'm just trying to get it to work for now...

Re: NetworkManager doesn't detect networks

Which network card do you use? Take a look at http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerHardware to check if there are any problems with your card.

Re: NetworkManager doesn't detect networks

Here's a part of my rc.conf:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="myhost"
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#   - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
eth2="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !eth1 !eth2)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up.  These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
#   - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
#   - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
#NET_PROFILES=(main)

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond hplip cups alsa
