"Well, on the other hand, okay, let's not argue about whether a such software is a free software . A software without sufficient configuration is not respecting user's freedom anyway."

You say to not talk of it, and then immediately re-assert your argument again. A free program is free (and therefore respects your freedom) regardless of how configurable it is. Any other argument is going to be a non-starter, sorry.

"What's the reason that NetworkManager provides few configuration opportunities?"

No one has taken the time to do it? Free software isn't perfect.

Free software is sometimes uglier than proprietary software. It is sometimes more expensive than proprietary software. It is sometimes less functional than proprietary software. Free software is sometimes buggier than proprietary software. (Sometimes people say free software has more than our fair share of bugs.) But it's always going to be free. To say otherwise is disingenuous. To *think* otherwise is to buy in to the promise of "open source" which promises better quality, higher reliability, etc. but this isn't always the case. See:
