Just a personal observation. When I installed F9 on my laptop I only had
wireless active, which has worked perfectly after extracting the firmware to
the correct location, however, the first time I plugged into ethernet
(wanting to transfer a large file) nothing happened. I did some searching to
find out I had to go into system-config-network and tell it to allow NM to
manage the connection.

I'm assuming that if I had installed F9 with the wired connection active
this would not have happened, but if NM is the "default" way of managing
connections, shouldn't it default to managing *all* the connections?
