For a desktop install, the config.example files are great. |
| 13 |
But for a notebook, creating and maintaining different setups for |
| 14 |
different networks is troublesome (some of them you'll probably never |
| 15 |
use again). When travelling or just sitting at a hotel that uses WPA |
| 16 |
or WEP keys, setting up config files for PSKs or keys is a pain. |

I searched for some solution and found net-misc/networkmanager. Its a |
| 19 |
cool solution, as it configures any network on-the-fly, without |
| 20 |
messing with configuration or keeping files all over. I'm a Gnome |
| 21 |
user, and the applet sitting at the panel is awesome, as it lists all |
| 22 |
wireless connections, and also deals with wired networks. Its a "must |
| 23 |
have" in my personal opinion for a mobile device, I use it with my |
| 24 |
Asus EEE. |

Just sharing some user experience. |
