Actually, I use network-manager-gnome for connecting to my wireless LAN; 
  I leave the network-manager settings as 'roving' (Gutsy).  Trying to 
configure network-manager manually has never seemed to work for me.

But I've never really understood the relationship between n-m-g and n-m; 
  so I'm not sure whether switching to WiFi Radar would involve removing 
both n-m and n-m-g, or just n-m-g, or neither.  Any specific advice 
about setting up WiF Radar would be very welcome.
