This is like MCC and GNOME CC, network-manager is just a CLI tool,
you have a Gnome tool to feed it and you can also make drakx-net feed
NM with connection description files.
Anyways, there is a point with NM that I find also useful, it can configure
wifi interfaces at the user level, no need to store them in system
hierarchy. drakx-* are more system-oriented. Think in shared laptops over
enterprise wifis...
