NetworkManager is a real whiz-bang app that detects network connections
dynamically. Plug in a cable and it switches to cable, unplug it and it
looks for wireless connections. It manages keys, allows you to select
among in-range WAPs or create an ad-hoc net, controls VPN access (using
vpnc only at the moment), controls modems (untested by me ATM) and rescans
on suspend/resume to find the new connections.
Is it smart enough to deal with cases where you are connected via
wireless, then connect via cable ALSO? (One would need a way to
select which connection should be used as the default route.)
Currently, NM doesn't handle simultaneous connections through two
interfaces. If you want to discuss NM features, the place is
