Now that it actually works, I've found Network Manager to be useful on
my laptop and netbook. As Sam says, it does OpenVPN (reasonably well
now...) as well as wi-fi and also mobile dongles, which reduces the
clutter. I've used all three capabilities in the last week with my
netbook, but it might be another six months before I do so again, and I
can do without having to re-learn it all then. NM is fairly simple and
intuitive. I have nothing against man pages, but as with my doctor, I
like to see them as rarely as possible.
