I'm not sure it will make it in 3.0. I have alpha quality code for that
indicator (better than the one I posted half a year ago), but I cannot
really test it since it depends on libnm-glib 0.9 with rm-userset, which
is incompatible with NetworkManager 0.8.990.
You could run the jhbuilt daemon but, ignoring security issues, is not
really workable, given that it is not compatible with nm-applet and does
not load configs from either GConf or rhcfg-plugin.
Also, a lot of features are missing, like asking for a wireless key or
creating adhoc connections.

(Of course, if someone has another indicator patch, it would be a
totally different story)
