looking @ the screenshot, it looks more like a wrapper GUI for
wpa_supplicant , iwconfig, and ifconfig and require user-configuration
- and focus more for ethernet and wlans. NetworkManager in the other
hand, is more for JustWorks(tm) with broad range of supported
connections and features. Static IP, Connection Sharing, and several
other cool stuff are also on the way for NetworkManager 0.7

If you are interested in using wich, how about start contributing and
package it into fedora
