I thought that Network Manager really sucked until I saw some screen-shots that were completely different than what I had seen and read articles like this one praising Network Manager. I figured out that my wireless device was set to Manual Configuration by default (I'm using Fussy Fawn). I simply needed to select "Enable roaming mode" in the manual configuration, and reboot. At least, I think that's what started Network Manager to work without needing to edit any files by hand.
Left click on the icon -> Manual Configuration... -> Wireless connection -> Properties -> Enable roaming mode
Then reboot (although, I'm not sure if that's really necessary)
oddly, /etc/network/interfaces does not even mention my wireless interface, eth1.
