-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-8617 2008-10-03 21:16:56 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : NetworkManager Product : Fedora 8 Version : 0.7.0 Release : 0.11.svn4022.4.fc8 URL : http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ Summary : Network connection manager and user applications Description : NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.
