Sorry to be mean,
but NM doesn't "mostly work" for me.
It sometimes works, on some of my WiFi devices,
and doesn't work at all on others,
eg Orinoco Classic PCMCIA cards or my USB WiFi no-name cards,
all of which work perfectly under Windows.

Also, when it doesn't work it leaves the WiFi system in a mess,
by re-writing various config files.
[IMHO, a program should undo any changes it has made
if and when it is removed.]

NM is definitely NOT the universal solution to WiFi problems.
