But ideally it would be nice if there was only one way to setup a

more advanced IIRC, so first NetworkManager needs to get more advanced,
more documentation, etc.
If networkmanager can be installed without having to install half of
gnome, and adds things like text only interfaces, then having it
replace drakx-net makes sense to me.
If a non-gui minimall install can not be done, simply because it requires
gnome, then it can't replace drakx-net, in my opinion.
This is like MCC and GNOME CC, network-manager is just a CLI tool,
you have a Gnome tool to feed it and you can also make drakx-net feed
NM with connection description files.
Anyways, there is a point with NM that I find also useful, it can configure
wifi interfaces at the user level, no need to store them in system
hierarchy. drakx-* are more system-oriented. Think in shared laptops over
enterprise wifis...
