     Easynetaid/netbarx is an option, preferably when it is available 
from the repo. In the mean time, wpagui is working fine, as from many 
years - I always wondered why there existed network-manager at all and I 
used to purge it right after install. wpagui is developped by the 
authors of wpa-supplicant. It takes a little editing of 
wpa-supplicant.conf and interfaces to start, but there are pretty good 
howtos (search for something like "wifi roaming with wpa supplicant")
