Having thrown a penny into an empty well a few days ago, I'd like to echo this frustration. NM is slick and cool and I also want to echo the praise. I went cold turkey with Linux (fc2 - from MacOS 8.1!) mid-2004 and then found I was the first person in my University (Auckland) to set up wpa_supplicant on it's wireless network... - there's some amusing reading on the wpa_supplicant mail list back then. I got there, with a little help from my friends. When I went to fc4 I gave up trying to configure it for the Uni network, though it was a delight on my home wep network. I consoled myself with my home network and looking forward to fc5. Now I'm with fc5 I know NM is configurable with my Uni network - but, how? Just a little info might go a long way (but, I make no promise:) NM is way cool, please keep up the good work.
