Laptops needs NM badly..  Linux have it, Opensolaris have it... I cannot
use
FreeBSD 8.0 in my laptops (8 persons in my company) because there is no
NM.

All the Laptops runs Arch linux...  it is a good OS but does not
compares to FBSD.

That is a thing that is missing...   

I agree that wpa supplicat is great... so if one can only make a GUI for
it... it would
make all of us happy too....
