OK. ifconfig just before running "NetworkManager --no-daemon" shows now
wlan0 up. Then I run "NetworkManager --no-daemon" and I see the wlan0
comes up (that is, ifconfig | grep wlan0  gives something). There is no
clue in the output (of the NetworkManager --no-daemon command) about wlan0
coming up though. Here's the output:
