OK,
I don't know what I did, but now I have the Network Manager Applet in my upper panel and I think it is working as expected. The network manager seems to be the only applet that does not identify itself when the arrow moves over it. But more than that it was not becoming active when I turned off the access point before. Now it becomes active when I uncheck enable access point and it is obvious how to connect to the local networks.
I have no clue what I did or what happened to make it start working. Sometimes you just gotta get lucky!
thanks,
Ron
