Hi Gavin,
Yikes! I've had nothing but problems using Network Manager. (Example: Assign a static IP to a NIC, unplug the patch cable and NW negotiates a zeroconf
IP in the 169.254.x.x range)
Are you finding it's become more stable in the 7.04 beta?

Excellent, thanks for letting us know.
Feisty has some nice new features pertinent to laptops -- I particularly
like the new NetworkManager applet.

I guess I should be specific and say that I've had very
positive
experiences of it over the past week in Feisty (7.04 beta)
but prior to
that I tried to use it in edgy and it was a shambles. It
seems to have
improved substantially now though. Nice clean support for
WPA, lets you
pick which wifi network from those available and the wired
connection (if
present). It's very laptop/desktop oriented, but that's
what it's for,
servers should probably be using /etc/network/interfaces.

My experience was Feisty Herd 5, maybe the next step resolved bugs. At this point, I'll check out the release on the 19th.
