It is useful if you have wifi and/or made a lot of testing with
different equipment.
I have the primary link with the Netscreen and backup with the Cisco.
If i have problems with the primary (4 times power supply),
connecting adsl to the backup and i'm online again.

Start nm-applet as root (sudo) then you can configure everything.

This is mine:
