I also never saw nm-applet work at all. It just never recognized the card. Uninstalling it and running Network Selector (Applications/Internet) without changing any configuration settings works fine. I don't connect to any secured networks so I don't know all the ins and outs of what this app supports: it does allow you to enter an "encryption key".
(To get started in the first place I did have to manually install my driver, wrapped with ndiswrapper, and blacklist the default broadcom driver. And the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/network file now contains a line "auto eth1" where eth1 is my wireless interface; and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper now contains "alias eth1 ndiswrapper" instead of wlan0.)
