For this article, I chose to take a slightly different approach than the standard "Linux distribution review". As I have written not just one, but two reviews of Fedora Core 2 for this site, I want to base my review of Fedora Core 3 on my experiences with its direct predecessor. Update: FC3 shots here.

You need to start the "NetworkManagerInfo" process, which will then add itself to your gnome session. It spawns and controls the lifetime of the NetworkManager panel applet. If you've got session-saving turned on (which I believe it is by default), then you shouldn't need to run NMI ever again.
NetworkManagerInfo dishes out stuff like what wireless networks you've connected to to NetworkManager, that's per-user configuration information. NetworkManager won't use a wireless network both NetworkManagerInfo is running and until you've explicitly clicked on it at least once in the applet.
