First, basically you don't need any client (KDE plasma or nm-applet or gnome-
shell applet or whatever) to run NetworkManager. You can edit connection files 
and everything will work.

To list available APs use:
nm-tool
or
nmcli dev wifi

There could be a problem with WiFi driver or wireless could be disabled by 
rfkill switch (either hardware or software). Can you show the output of 'nm-
tool' and 'rfkill list' commands? Also attach /var/log/messages or 
/var/log/daemon.log, or whatever file contains NetworkManager logs in your 
distro.
