True, for Laptops NetworkManager is good. And as I said on my Laptop I do
have a separate init script that automatically chooses to use NetworkManager or 
network depending on where I am (does a iwlist | grep on the WiFi).

However, in my case, at home most of my systems are desktops, settop boxes, 
kitchen radios etc and don't have WiFi just hard wired Ethernet and they all,
including the laptop, have /home and /data mounted with NFS and use NIS, NTPD 
etc. They all run from a local Linux server. So all the users and other data, 
videos, music, documents etc are on the server, the PC's just have OS and anyone 
can log in from anywhere.

I did try to use NetworkManager for this, but it had problems with NFS, NIS and 
sleeping and in the end I could not use it (there are a few bug reports in 
BugZilla which I suspect are still there).
