Bottom line: this is an ubiquitous problem in the IT industry - releasing software before it's ready. Everybody does it - open source authors as well as commercial companies. It's the bane of users.
The Ubuntu Wireless Applet wouldn't handle WPA and had a bug with WEP - it got released. KNetworkManager can't start up a DSL interface on boot. And so on and so on.
When are people in IT going to heed to motto: "Release no product before its time"? It's a nightmare for end users.
As Woody Allen said, describing the human condition in five words that applies in spades to the IT industry:
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
