Network admin tool like Apple's OSX

I've been wondering this for a while and I'm probably missing something.

Why is there not a decent network management tool in Linux?

I'm guessing it's a combination of driver problems with too many new starts.

The one's I've used recently include WICD, network-admin and knetworkmanager. None of them are able to reliably:

- auto switch once I get home.
- connect to the network without considerable fiddling most times.
- display a meaningful interface with all the bits needed to work.

I'm probably wrong and not using the right tools. If so, can someone please correct the error of my ways?

TIA

Stu
