wireless connection not detected by networkmanager

Something wrong with my network connections. I've done this like a hundred times (I'm pro at messing up my system and reinstalling) but this time just cannot figure out, gnome netwotk manager installed somewhat broken. because everytime i hit "cancel" on any gui it crashes. and wireless tab does not show any devices availible, however iwconfig shows that everythins is fine.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:""  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=27 dBm   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2352 B   
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I did disabled (!network) and put networkmanager in rc.conf

check daemon.log to see if it's the daemon that's having issues. If not then it's the applet that configures the daemon, you can try starting the applet from terminal (nm-applet) to catch any possible output.

How about try wicd? I find it much easier to use than network manager.
