Making my wireless connection a system connection increases the
exposure of my WPA key and doesn't solve the problem of the network
configuration changing, perhaps because I connected or disconnected
an ethernet cable or the machine went to sleep on one WLAN and woke
up on another.

Do you know of a place I can set a static name that NetworkManager
won't override?  That would be ideal.  I just doesn't make sense
that the machine's internal relationships would depend on its
external connections.
