Ira, Network Manager is going to be the new default networking configuration application accross the board: SuSE (SLES), RHEL 6, Ubuntu, and Mandriva (if I'm not mistaken). Not sure about the next stable version of Debian though..
It still has some issues (here in Fedora 9 when I stick a PCMCIA wifi card it takes ages till it "detects" it and assigns IP), but it seems that many distribution maintainers are fed up with /etc/init.d/network stuff..
