Network-manager seems to be the cause of a lot of complaints on the

No way, including it in a usable state is one of the main goals of
Feisty: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/network-roaming

It seems that more & more stuff is being bundled into Feisty... what
ever happened to "roll your own"?

Nothing happened to it. It is called Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, LFS,
(etc.), as it always was. "Roll your own" never was even a goal for
Ubuntu

Ubuntu isn't LFS, but it doesn't have to include *everything* either.
However, I see why network-manager is included (but I use KDE).
