"Without any success" is too vague :-)
If your DSL device is already configured and properly setup to deal with
your IP network and you know the required data (encryption type and
password) then network manager should detect the AP and you can then
select it to establish a connection with it.
What happens then? Tell us all the steps you follow and what messages you
are getting.

N-M logs go under "/var/log/syslog", you can monitor that file with "tail
-f /var/log/syslog" and see what happens.
