network manager should show up if you dont configure your wireless
device in /etc/network/interfaces and your wireless device is plugged
in. With your wireless configured in /etc/network/interfaces you
opted-out for managing your wireless in NetworkManager ... so even if
we would show the applet it would show your device as "unamanged" and
wouldnt allow you to select a AP.
