Wireless newbies -- just try NetworkManager!

To ensure there is no cruft from other apps that might interfere.  To
ensure that you are starting from a good, clean state.  See the last
message John posted in the compat-wireless thread earlier today for
some examples of what sorts of problems might be caused by using
system-config-network or setting up wpa_supplicant prior to using NM.

Another good reason why might be "because a nice fellow that knows
quite a bit about wireless networking in Fedora suggested it would be
a good idea." :)
