The trouble is, NM doesn't "just work" for lots of people (including me),
as is obvious from this newsgroup/mailing list.

In my view, what is needed is a program that just deals with WiFi,
and which tells you what is wrong if the connection fails.
In my experience, NM and system-config-network (in its various guises)
are both quite bad at this.
