I had in fact stopped the network service before running NM - but it still was
flaky - it is possible the wireless signal from the AP was weak in my office but
I will try this again next week in a stronger signal area.

Does that mean that the wpa_supplicant.conf generated when NM makes the
connection is saved somewhere?  If so I would like to be able to get at that
file and use it directly - after all with wpa_supplicant then all the network
blocks in the config file are tried to look for a connection - so if
wpa_supplicant daemon is set to come up at boot then it should "just work"
whichever AP you are near that is profiled in the config file. At least that was
my intention - that way I don't need to do anything except log in to my KDE
session and I should be able to work with it immediately. I guess with NM you
still have to choose which wireless to connect to each time you log in?
