Yes, that I know. The question was if I needed Plasma NM nm09
installed in order for NM to list wireless networks available.

My wireless card is surely working (I just have to resort to NM 0.8.2
and Plasma NM from my repository and everything works fine up to the
bugs I'm trying to escape from) but I haven't tried those two commands
to ensure wireless networking is enabled. But I guess this answer
means I should be able to list available wireless networks from NM 0.9
alone, right? That is, before installing any NM Cllient. That would
finally answer my question above.
