There is no managing in that network manager.

You have to install drivers by hand. You have to install wpa_supplicant by hand, then configure that by hand, among others things inputting SSID and passphrases into a text file.

Which, seeing that WPA is on every WLAN that has been in any way administered in the past 2.5 years or so, means you have to do it every time you use a new network.

What exactly does this network manager do, apart from launching DHCP on a handconfigured network device?
