 I've had very good success with *WICD* (*W*ireless *I*nterface *C*onnection
 *D*aemon), instead of using the default Network Manager.  (It handles both
 wireless and wired connections.)  

I see that one recommended often... but it really misses certain functionality 
that is increasingly important for users: Connecting with 3G modems, for 
example. Or am I wrong here?


Alrighty then,

Thomas.

Hm, did you confuse me with someone else? I didn't say I use wicd, just that I 
see it recommended when people have issues with network-manager. The latter 
indeed manages the wireless broadband (well... not that broad) just fine. 
Connection quality seems to be defined by the network (I don't have the best 
one here) and the modem (sometimes seems to die on me).
One annoying thing with network-manager is that I have to restart it to show 
the tray icon along with my 3G modem (might be that old bug about network 
manager being confused by a static eth0 config).


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
