In my case, it is one of the few solutions. At work I use WPA
authentication, and home I use WEP 128, at BLU meetings I use either
MIT or JABR-NET unencrypted. While Network Manager does fail, I have
found the most common cause it WPA-Supplicant. Prior to using NM, I
used SCPM. SCPM has a few advantages over NM. One advantage of SCPM was
that at HP I could configure a proxy server, but no proxy server
elsewhere. I have not seen SCPM used outside of SuSE systems, though.
