I had endless hassles with network manager's clients. Stuff would never work. |

My auth scripts to get a valid login and be allowed out of the network at work |
| 5 |
never worked right. |

The damn thing would be up and down more often than my girlfriend's Windows |

box. I was ready to toss the notebook out the window and go back to a desktop |

| 13 |
is good, the network works as designed and I have rediscovered that I am |
| 14 |
indeed a human being as opposed to only a brutal harsh sysadmin. |

Not bad for a simple python script, hey? |
