I agree about not trying to do too many new features, but there are
some bugs which should be fixed, like the Deksbar one humdinger
mentioned which I've personally seen.

Yes fair enough.

Yeah maybe so, but I think making the wireless configuration a bit
nicer would be a nice cherry on top of the wpa_supplicant addition.
People are already adding start-up items with plaintext wireless
passwords so I don't think it is any worse for us to store them as
part of wireless profiles until we get the keystore system going.

So to conclude I think it would be good to have a very basic wireless
profile system which can be improved and expanded after the release.
