I presume the intent is that "system eth0" is for a static IP and "auto
ethernet" is for NM-controlled DHCP.

So far (with F8), I haven't been able to get the "system wlan0" to
connect wirelessly with the network I defined (hidden SSID, WEP, DHCP),
but the auto connection works fine for the same network.  (Haven't
tested all that recently, either, though.)
