What exactly is the problem?  I'm on Testing, but it looks like both
distros are on nework-manager 0.8-1.  A while back, an upgrade to
NetworkManager made it stop working for me.  The solution was to
update my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf.  See:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568784 and
http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager.

Also, for the commandline junkies among us, I just stumbled across
cnetworkmanager in Debian's package directory.  It's a commandline
interface to network-manager.  Haven't tried it yet, but it would be
very nice to not be dependent on the applet.
