Very true, NetworkManager used to make a billion assumptions... now it's 
probably down to only million or so :-)

Networking belongs in the hands of people that know what they are doing rather 
than a program that does not know.

My own Network Manager "adverisement":

* Just plug it in and watch your whole network go down!

* See a list of networks that you can never connect to successfully!

* Amaze your friends with rudimentary networking that sometimes works!

* Use NetworkManager... if it works... it's a miracle!!
