To insult you personally, presumably.  That's the only answer that could
possibly make sense.

About GNOME Network Manager, I used to have a list of the various
less-baroque and less dependency-ridden alternative wireless network
managers (starting with wicd, connman, netifd, wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli,
wifi-wiz, getwifi, wlassistant, wifi-radar, GTKWifi, ceni, netctl), but
most often (personally) I'd rather just use iwconfig / ifrename /
iwgetid / iwlist / iwpriv / iwspy ('Wireless Tools for Linux').  

Marcel Gagné once made a good argument for Wireless Assistant and netGo
(neither yet tried) to manage multiple wireless profiles, so those merit
a try, too:  http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/8355/print
