Hello!

I just saw this screenshot of Gnome and it seems to have a small panel-applet 
installed by default that handles wireless/wired network connections and can 
enable/disable as well as configure them.

I guess that almost any computer has a network-card and/or WLAN-card, so it is 
not reasonable, why the user should have to explicitly start some application 
for WLAN (kwifi) and another service (knemo) for wired-network and another 
app for configuring it.

Combining links to wirless/wired monitoring/configuration into one little 
applet would do the trick and should be enabled by default.

Sven
