Could one of you perhaps explain to me why you want to do something
manually that network-manager does for you automatically? I don't quite
get it.

This is my fault. I'm the maintainer in Ubuntu. I meant to fix the bugs
first and then submit patches, but work got in the way. I'll file bugs
for them shortly!

We fixed this in Ubuntu a while ago. It involved changing the wireless
detection code in HAL to avoid certain race conditions. The change is
available in the current git repository of HAL and also here:

Well, there's always the NOPASSWD option in sudoers..

I'm really amazed at how many people use those packages. :-)

I have the same problem and have been thinking about how to fix it. I'm
thinking about adding a "location" of sorts. When you connect to a new
wireless LAN (identified by router's MAC address) the context menu for
the applet could show a "Configure location" option. In there, you could
tell nm to change connect using a certain vpn connection and also change
your proxy settings accordingly.

Is anything like this in the pipeline?
