Exactly. You call Get() but you need to call
Get("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager", "WirelessEnabled"):
$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
   /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
   string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager string:WirelessEnabled
method return sender=:1.2226 -> dest=:1.2620 reply_serial=2

If this does not work, perhaps it is an access policy problem? Are
you logged in remotely? If yes, becoming root should make it work.
