Lost wireless networks after updating network manager

Hi,
For the last year I have used NetworkManager with not problems. A few days ago I did am emerge --sync and then emerge -avuD world.
At an etc-update there were no significant changes in any of the configuration files.
But from then on I am not able to use network manager with wireless networks. There are no wireless networks listed.

If I click at "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network..." I could see my home network there. But when trying to connect nothing happens.
I have tried revdep-rebuild and emerge -ave networkmanager.

Could you assist me with this one.

Thanks.

1. Network manager is net-misc/networkmanager-0.7.1-r6
2. emerge --info is

Solved.

I have updated my kernel from
linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 to linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5 and I can now see the wireless networs.

Thanks for the replies.
