Need getting network list with Network Manager

I have not been able to get the list of networks to show up in Network Manager. I tried the NM wiki but still no luck. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Wireless Card:

06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

rc.conf

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# MOD_AUTOLOAD: Allow autoloading of modules at boot and when needed
# MOD_BLACKLIST: Prevent udev from loading these modules
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Prefix with a ! to blacklist.
#
# NOTE: Use of 'MOD_BLACKLIST' is deprecated. Please use ! in the MODULES array.
#
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(e100 mii slhc !bcm43xx b43 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore)

# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING

#
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
#
HOSTNAME="myhost"

# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
#
# 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
# 
# DHCP:     Set your interface to "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
# Wireless: See network profiles below
#
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0)


# 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 192.168.1.1"
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.d
#
# This now requires the netcfg package
#
#NETWORKS=(main)

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)

#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager fam !netfs crond alsa gdm)

Still not having any luck with it. I tried both the b43 and bcm43xx firmware. I can't get the LED light on either.

Re: Need getting network list with Network Manager

That INTERFACES line looks a bit odd. What's up with the '=dhcp' bit?

I don't know what I'm doing (obviously) ,but I changed it according to the wiki. Still not working though.

Re: Need getting network list with Network Manager

I cannot get the LED light on. The card works fine because I am using XP right now.

I installed both the bcm43xx and the bm43 firmware in an attempt to get it working. Could one or the other be causing a conflict?

When I tried to modprobe either of the two I get something like "invalid operation."

When I do

b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" wl_apsta_mimo.o

it gives me an error saying the input doesn't exist.

edit: Could I get this moved to the wireless section?
