[SOLVED] Broadcom BCM4313 with NetworkManager - no vissible networks

Hi. I have a Samsung N150 Plus netbook. Because i have the "plus" version i also got broadcom wifi card, which, as said on the wiki, have issues with default kernel driver. So, installed broadcom-wl from AUR, added "wl !brcm80211 !mac80211 !cfg80211" to modules, and the i installed networkmanager, and added it to the daemons, disabling network by the way. So, after restart it seems ok, ifconfig and iwconfig shows right values, cable network is working but i can't see any networks in network manager applet, it's just saying disconnected. So, how can i make it running?

I recently played with a laptop that had a BCM4313. The default kernel driver (brcm80211) worked perfectly. I didn't use Networkmanager though, but netcfg and wifi-pipe.

I know NetworkManager from ubuntu, and i like it because i can connect to a network with two clicks, so i would like to stay with it.

@EDIT
Fixed it Had to install samsung-tools from AUR, and it's working now. Backlight fn keys are working also
