Sorry, wrong link.  There are a few network admin tools in PC-BSD
(including a task tray application).  Here is their wireless config app:
http://svn.pcbsd.org/browser/pcbsd/trunk/wificonfi .

The advantage of using the PC-BSD code is that the FreeBSD internal
stuff is done already.  That could could be used as a model for creating
a GTK+/GNOME frontend.  On the other hand, porting NM would require
adapting it to your net80211 stack.
