Cool, thanks :) For now I have a problem in the device detection path, it seems NetworkManager needs an interface index otherwise it refuses to enable the device. I can't find an interface index number for my ueagle-atm0 interface so for now I have a hack that returns a fake one, but this will need to be fixed in a better way. > They are actually pretty stable at this point, though the change in the > D-Bus API may cause you some issues.

Ok, I made a blog post on the procedure I used myself under ubuntu (it may look a little complex with the dpkg-diverts and all but this way I can develop on my regular laptop, the security updates can modify any of the files in the system-version of NM without problem and I can script switching between the 2 versions of NM and the applet without problem. http://polytechnitis.blogspot.com/2011/05/compiling-latest-versions-of.html > Let me know how things go, great to hear you're working on this. Great, I will try to push code somewhere soonish.
