If you're using NetworkMangler, God help you. Shit's never worked right for me... even connecting to my home wifi it gets way fewer bars than it should, and keeps making and breaking the association.

Using just wpa_supplicant and dhclient, I've had far fewer problems, particularly with Intel wireless chipsets.

Linux would benefit from a bit of expectations management. Some of us neither want nor need a less expensive Windows, and Linux in general tends to function a whole lot better if you don't treat it as such.



I've been using NetworkManager for years with few complaints. I love its VPN support and have used it consistently at a couple jobs.

The moral: Anecdotes aren't very useful.


They can be when they are in abundance.


The plural of anecdote is not data, though.

Of course it is.

What do you think data comprises? It's just an aggregation of anecdotes.


Are you really sure? Data is supposed to have been collected by some method, not just randomly waiting in forums for complains about something.
