I got a good deal, $200. I got an Intel graphics model to avoid the 
whole ATI mess.

Yes, and wicd. Wicd is optional. NM is part of the default 
installation. I presume then I start NM from the rc.d scripts but 
configure NM from Trinity? KControl?

Is NM designed that when I am connected to wired that NM uses that 
rather wireless?
