As a matter of interest, why do you think this is better?
Whatever way you go, you'll have to give more or less the same information,
eg your essid, encryption key, etc.

There seems to me quite a lot to be said for having it all
in a file where you can read it, viz /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*

As I have mentioned, NM does not work with all the WiFi devices I have,
though it does work with most.
But it doesn't seem to me to add anything, at least in my case.
