+"Can't win" is appropriate.  You may want to check the comments in bug#8169.

+Apart from any net-applet crash, ifplugd is failing to start wireless 
+interfaces with current kernels, which means that the current plan to 
+*not* use NM outside of GNOME may not be workable. If that's the case, 
+then NM has to be made to work out-of-the-box outside of GNOME, or else 
+ifplugd has to be fixed.  Nobody outside of this ML is going to know 
+that they have to install extra packages and what they have to do with 
+them to get NM to work.
