I have never used NM, since I'm a Linux-geek wannabe who assumes that
GUIs are automatically evil, but I have been quite struck by the fact
that some of the bcm43xx / b43 devs seem to consider it their preferred
method of managing their wireless subsystems, and those guys surely
know wireless as well as anyone. I believe I have seen Larry Finger
(one of those devs), write strongly in its favor, although at the
moment all I find is this comment of his [0]:
You will find NetworkManager to be a very nice way to connect.
I'm cc'ing him; perhaps he can shed some light on the issue.
