I'm running it right now on an Ubuntu box and it works quite well.

But having a configuration wizard would miss the point -- there 
shouldn't be a need for one. The whole point of network manager is that 
it requires no intervention on the point of the user except to ask 
things it absolutely needs, like WEP keys.

Specifying an 'autoretry' interval shouldn't be necessary because the 
presence of an available connection is supposed to be determined 
automatically. Network manager has 3 options -- Always Search, Search 
Only When Disconnected, and Never Search. It defaults to Always Search.
