Pushed into wide usage too early in the state of development, they're creating an image that is hard to erase. No matter how promising these programs are, the necessity and failure to provide are so evident that they would best be removed from mass deployment before it's an indelible image, until they work in common scenarios. NetworkManager is useless on a managed network as on the workplace it usually is. NetworkManger is useless on home networks but for the technical illiterate, who don't even have a clue of how to take minimal cautionary actions of protection which would render it useless (hiding essid, wap, static networks, etc...). So what use is it for again? It's not the "promise" I criticize, but the way it is being "mass deployed" without even a marginal thought. Rui
