Why is F8 nm-applet Not as Good as the F6 Version?

When I used networkmanager and nm-applet under Fedora 6, it made it easy
to choose either "wired" or "wireless" networks. You just clicked which
one you wanted. In Fedora 8, nm-applet does not have a "wired" choice
(it only shows the wireless networks). So since I upgraded to Fedora 8
about 2 months ago, I have to struggle with networkmanager to use wired
ethernet at work and wireless at home. At work I have to turnoff
networkmanager (via services), kill wpa_supplicant and nm-applet and
type in the dns (nm always overwrites the fixed dns) before connecting
to the wired network. Before I leave work, then I need to re-enable
networkmanager via services and allow networkmanager to control the
wireless card (wlan0) so I'll be able to connect at home. It was SO
simple under F6 and its such a mess under F8. Or am I missing something?
I tried wireless assistant but SELINUX blocks it from running. I also
tried wifiradar but it NEVER connects at home (even though I've given it
the same info). At least nm works at home and at work using WPA when I
need a wireless connection at work.
