how to rescan and wrong icon



I'm using NetworkManager-0.5.1-2 on a rawhide laptop.  
1) I've noticed that when I boot with the eth0 plugged in, the icon is
one of no connection, but there is.  How to fix that?
2) Also, when I unplug the eth0, I get a scan of available wireless
networks.  But if I leave the area and get new access points, it doesn't
rescan.  How to I get it to rescan?

My wireless card (using hostap_pci):

wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xe0500000, irq=11
wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0

Thanks.

Oh yeah, the card does scan:
[bpm]$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
