Hi David!

I think it would be worth considering to include the functionality of Knemo
into NM.  Both are in development. Knemo is a KDED surface built of course
for KDE and uses ifconfig and iwconfig.  What I am thinking of is a
"surface" of this functionality (maybe with a few selectable extras) that
will auto sense KDE/Gnome and be an option when NM is first run.

On we go!
