I've had my connections not come up, I've had NM crash repeatedly.  I've 
had connections not go down.

Personally, NM is still half-baked, IMHO.  It's great in theory.  But, 
like pulse-audio, not so good in practice yet.

I've given up on using NM, but that's less because of my problems as it 
is I'm migrating to KDE 4 on all my desktops and the KDE NM app I've 
found works pretty well.  Still prefer CLI for my wireless though. 
Guess I'm too old school.
