Mostly, no. At some point very close to the end, it did; this was one of
those several-hours-long marathons at the the end of which I was confused
about what I did when, so I don't know what I did to suddenly have it
appear, but knetwork-manager wasn't helpful until the very end.

The issue seems to be that the help page says that when you perform the
scan, the second column should describe the mode of the network... but it
doesn't, it always shows up blank. So I think that then when I try to go to
 that network by clicking on it, the system defaults to assuming that it's
ad-hoc.

I have no idea why scanning the networks doesn't provide the system with
the mode. It is 100% consistent, though.
