Do you really like NM ? Each time I use it it bugs, sometimes it
connects and sometime not. Of course it's great for people who wants
something easy to manage but NM needs the users to connect the X
session.

wpa_supplicant is really great, it scans access points available and
try to connect them (you can add many networks in your
wpa_supplicant.conf) and then it starts connecting even if you're not
in your X session.

About the NM port in freebsd I guess we can wait a long time.

Cheers,
