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, -- Demelier David
