Indeed, I think about 80% of the problems people are attributing to 
NetworkManager are due to issues involving the interaction between NM and 
flakey WiFi drivers.  The NM developers have been working hard lobbying 
WiFi driver developers to support features that NM depends on, but I 
think it's still going to take a while to get the necessary consistency.
