I sent in my post to celebrate a milestone -- something *worked*
(suspend/resume with a wired ethernet) that had not previously.
To then quote a non-positive comment was to mis-read my post.

"... joyride will break often over the ... next few months ..."
I appear to be having difficulties communicating with this list.
When I ask for advice - it is sparse; when I don't ask - it is
offered. I'm not sure of the purpose of the above sentence - am I
being advised to leave joyride to "development"?
My original post was merely to describe what I saw. But now I *am*
asking for advice - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Network_manager_0.7 is
not enough for me to figure out how come some things are being shown
in Neighborhood View but others are not. Please - those of you who
have practical experience with NM-0.7 - I would appreciate pointers
to more information on how to _use_ NM-0.7 (in place of NM-0.6).
Yes, I expect things to break "as development runs in full swing".
But I think both developers and users will make faster progress if
hurdles are met with a "here, this might help" attitude.

p.s. The two principal "helpful hints" I've been using so far with
NM-0.7 is "if I don't like the IP address it assigns (e.g., an
IPv6), I manually do 'ifconfig down', then 'ifconfig up' with the
desired address (e.g., an IPv4)"; and "if I don't like the wireless
characteristics it assigns (e.g., the channel), I manually do
'iwconfig' to set the desired value for that characteristic".
