Network manager inactive

Finally, I got my desktop environment working. But I have no network access. When I try to start networkmanager in the terminal it says networkmanager is already started but inactive. This seems to be the case; my knetworkmanager is detecting the wireless card just fine but isn't displaying the network I know damn well is there (the iPad im typing on now is connected to it). So how do I activate networkmanager?
