and the TD and HD automatically mount. All seems to be working.
Even a hot unplug, unplugging without [i]unmounting[/i] is working just like in the first install.
Did not even have to reboot.
I seriously encourage you to umount/eject the device before unplugging it.

Yes the iwlist wlan0 scan works and I am sending through the wireless adapter, how ever it still does not show in NETWORK MANAGER. The RADAR tool will pick up the sites so that one works.
So I still have a problem with it being detected by NETWORK MANAGER. I have 2 routers to get the signal through the house so the scan was correct.
What do you need to see?

I hear you but I had to test it to see if it would work as if should and it did. unmount/reject is the best and safest way to do it, I agree.

I'm sorry about the late reply, I've been busy with my exams lately :)
Network-manager should come with a system tray applet that lets you select wireless networks from a drop-down list. Are you sure that the package network-manager-gnome is installed? You could always try reinstalling it just in case ;)
su -c "apt-get install network-manager-gnome"
If that applet doesn't show up by itself, you can try running it manually:
nm-applet
