I figured it out. I copied my etc/network/interfaces file from my desktop

Mine just contain two lines (comments excepted)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The word on the street is that the auto's confuse the network-manager setup,
and should be commented out. I have not experiemented with it, so I don't
know.

if I manually edit the network through K>systemsettings>networksettings the
interfaces file changes and then the wireless disappears.
here is my interfaces file:

Networksettings should be left alone completely when using networkmanager --
in fact, I'd think it is a bug if there isn't at least a warning about using
that module and networkmanager at once.

Happy to hear you have it working now :)
