This will run in `enwc-setup', which runs as part of the first run of `enwc'. As of right now, these changes don't persist between Emacs sessions. The ultimate goal of ENWC is to allow a user to set up a new network profile from scratch. This has always been part of my goal with ENWC, but due to the differing ways in which Wicd and NetworkManager handled this, and my short-sighted initial design, I couldn't figure out a solution. Thank you to everyone that's helped with testing so far. My goal for the 2.0 release is to have ENWC using the NetworkManager backend to connect to a wired or wireless network for which a profile already exists. So far, wireless seems to be working; not so much wired. I hope to have that up and running within the week, and 2.0 released by the end of the month. The 3.0 release will see a new profile interface, and working NetworkManager and Wicd backends. I don't have an estimate for how long this will take. As always, I'm open to input and feedback. -- Ian Dunn
