Really, wired connections require absolutely nothing extra that
NetworkManager wouldn't have to deal with for wifi connections, so why
not let it handle wired connections too?

I occasionally use a wired connection with my laptop that normally
uses wireless connections (usually to get a faster transfer rate to a
local machine, since I haven't felt the need to switch to 802.11n yet)
and it would be really annoying if I had to go mess around in
/etc/sysconfig to get it working every time.  With NetworkManager I
just plug in an ethernet cord and it "just works".
