I've seen talk of one on the NM lists (the one William linked to, I think), but no, I've never found the need to use it. As for NM itself, I don't need any patches to use current SVN - it's become generic enough that it works fine to build with --with-distro=redhat and a custom bootscript to start it on LFS. Stuff like 3G broadband and VPN might require extra packages, but the basic dependencies according to my scripts are hal, wpa_supplicant, ppp, libgcrypt, libnl, and dhcp. The Gnome applet additionally requires gnome-keyring, libnotify, libglade, and NSS. Simon.
