+So are there now some new fixes in drakconnect that should enable it's
+co-operation with NM?
+I did my latest tests on saturday on then up to date cauldron and at
+least then I still needed to reboot the laptop after introducing it in
+drakconnect to new AP, before I was really able to get the laptop
+connecting to ap.
+
+And are there some other NM compatible UI WLAN tools available that
+should work with NM enabled? (to be able to use console tools like ifup,
+iwconfic, etc, one must at least disable the NM control for the network
+interface in drakconnect interface configuration)
