I thought this would be of interest to the list.

Also some good comments here: http://lwn.net/Articles/338715/

well, I don't like very much the NIH syndrome, but this time I've to agree
with the decision of writing everything from scratch. NM is a huge pill of
'mixed-code' with a lot of dependences on the UI, it works fairly well in my
gnome desktop right now, but the KDE/mobile users usually have a lot of
problem with NM.
To be fair, the network manager app that gave me the best user experience in
a linux box so far, was the proprietary app in your tablets (insert your
rants here :P).

Best regards,

Agreed. I hate NetworkManager so badly. I had nothing but trouble with
it on a tablet (Mer) and on a desktop computer. I had to pin the
NetworkManager from Ubuntu Hardy when I upgraded as the newest version
gave me nothing but trouble.

icd2, the Network Manager used in Diablo, is probably the most
reliable manager I've used.

I find it hard to agree with the article due to my own experiences and
it is heavily biased.

More power to ConnMan!

Best Regards,
Faheem
