	I hated network-manager when it replaced the plain-ol' way; it was unreliable
and (originally at least) started and stopped the connection whenever I
logged in/out accounts.  (Why would I want my network connection dropped just
because I logged out of my account?  Maybe there are others active on the
system?)  Anyway, wicked, like the pre-network-manager way, just works.  I'd
say you're going in the right direction.
