GoboNet is not meant to cover all possible configurations. However, it
works fine for most common scenarios, such as your average home network. It
even works with some fancy enterprise settings, as I mentioned in my
previous email. To me, it's nonsense to go back to something much more
complex which is going to benefit nobody.

I constantly connect to the internet through tethering using GoboNet. I
simply select the network name, provide the password and that's it. It
works both on the command line and on the GUI through the Awesome applet.
