I've had it fail in weird cases sometimes.  I've even had it get into a
situation where it wouldn't do wired or wireless, and the applet was completely
ineffective in doing anything.  A reboot cleared that up, but I think there's
some sort of order-of-operations issue between NM, NM-applet, hal, and dbus
that can get it all into a very weird state.
