Rick,

	NetworkManager is a new widget that is suppose to manage your network
connections.  Appears to be geared more toward laptop type users.

	It is very different from the system-config-network tool.  

	I came across a message that seemed to indicate that NetworkManager
munges some of the files and leaves that that way when it is removed.  

	I am going to try this weekend to experiment with removing
NetworkManager and setting up the wired NIC manually to see if the VPN
will resolve names correctly in that setup.  I think I did that when
initially setup the laptop since I had trouble getting the wireless to
work.  Wireless worked after using NetworkManager.  It still needs some
work IMHO.

	So by Sunday I hope to have some additional data points on this
problem.
