I’ve used it myself on notebooks for a few years, mostly because it can also manage UMTS connections… *but* during this time I had several breakages, usually when either nm or kde had a bigger update. Also the “system connection” feature oscillated between working and broken a lot. With the last KDE upgrade it would not unlock my SIM card, so I removed the PIN…

Very good when it’s working, but having a broken network-manager and no internet connection to look for help or updates is defineitely no fun :-/

In short: I like network-manager for mobile devices but doubt if it would be good for a volatile distro like siduction right now, at least as default network management tool. Maybe it could be installed as an opt-in part?
