The networking icon does not appear by default with the possible exception
of an error condition). It is however very asy to add by right clicking the
panel, choosing "Add to Panel" and the appropriate entry.
Alternatively, you can choose Administration and Networking from the System
menu, select the wireless interface and click on Properties which is, in
fact, the same place you get to by choosing to configure as der.Hansmentioned.
As far as actually scanning for networks, there are other applications as
well. When I got started here a number of folks recommended WiFi-radar. If
it is not installed on your system, just open the Synaptic package manager
from the administration menu, click on the search button, enter "wifi-radar"
and let Synaptic find it for you. Install normally and it will show up on
Applications/Internet menu
