In my experience NM works about 95%, or even 99%, of the time;
but when there is a problem it is extremely difficult
(or perhaps I should say, I find it extremely difficult)
to work out what is wrong.

As an example, I was in Italy last week and there was an electrical storm.
The internet went down, and I got a little window on my Fedora/KDE laptop,
saying (IIRC) "Secrets", with the word Password: followed by a space.
But the window would not accept any input.
When I closed the window it just came up again.
As I didn't realise the internet had gone down,
it just appeared to me that the laptop had suffered a fit.

Personally, I think NM tries to do too much;
I would much prefer an application that just dealt with WiFi.
