There’s little automagic to do. But most folks don’t get it and try to automate the hell out of it.
We have the Network Manager example of how NOT to do a network manager. It fucks up what you do in console, does a lot of stuff without even telling you wtf is it doing. Otoh it has good support for 3g dongles and has a neat interface in gnome.

So what should a network manager do?
* Connecting to wireless
* Connecting to 3g
* Connecting to Vpn
* Sharing connection(ethernet, wireless)
* Setting up a quick local network (gaming, lan parties)
* Choosing default route
* Choosing global dns
* Notify about network changes (disconnected, connected from console and so on)
* Wireless link in gui

So if you’re wondering, they’re all features i plan for netcfgfx, and this network manager won’t be archlinux only. Stay tuned
