Why does Network Manager rock

I was out of the city (Saint Petersburg) for two weeks, and I needed some kind of Internet connection (there was no wired or wireless connection). So I bought a 3G USB dongle from the local mobile network operator. I had never used such devices before. Mine one was a Huawei E1550 (E620). I plugged it in USB and waited for some seconds. A new device (with the suggestion to create a new connection) appeared in Network Manager's list of connections. I clicked for Next button three or four times, selected my operator from the list and... that's all! I clicked for a new connection and I was in Internet after a few seconds. No third-party software or drivers installation. Awesome! Just plug-and-work. Thanks to all NM developers for such a great job.

P.S. Just got an email for successful final evalution for my GSoC 2010 :) I'm really happy to finish this summer on positive note, though a lot of work is on the road.
