I see that there is a proposal to make NM (Network Manager) a standard feature of Fedora-8, replacing system-config-network in its various forms.
No, not yet http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureNetworkManager Fedora 8 would still have system-config-network.
I don't think this is a good idea. NM does not work with my Orinoco PCMCIA classic gold card. It sends out a message saying something like "Get a better card". Basically, I believe the Orinoco card does not support the kind of scanning that NM uses.
That is a fault in the driver that needs to be fixed. Make sure you have a bug report filed.
