BTW, I've already read the other followups and you have a legitimate question, Hendrik. Here is my 2 cents and why I'm using NM.

I used to be a big fan of WiCD. Then it had times when it would refuse to connect to one of my APs and would require a second try. I used to disparage NM every chance I got (the Linux Today archives will likely have some rants), but it became fixed and a useful tool. So useful that using my laptop would be much less handy without it these days. I know, I would probably be better off doing everything it does by hand. That said there is something very nice about opening the lid and by the time I enter my password to unlock Xscreensaver, NM has the network configured on my AP. I don't have an issue with a program that does what it is supposed to do reliably and with repeat-ability. For my use case NM meets that criteria. Others have matured NM and the version in Jessie works very well *for me*. Sorry for the tangential remarks. I hope it's possible for libpam to be packaged without the systemd dependency. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
