Re: [awilliam@redhat.com: Re: Connection Sharing in F15]
I actually filed a bug on this icon missing. You need to do a search,
and this thing is a necessity if your network is anything but pure
vanilla. Not too many people are even going to see that search box, let
alone think of it to find a pretty fundamental app.
Ideally it should be part of the network applet, but lacking that it
should at least show up in System.
I can see the logic behind not cluttering things up since you only use
it once, but F15 is unusable for a lot of folks without it. And the
average bear is never going to find it. For a few days I had visions of
Unity in my future, if G3 was never going to work.

That's nm-connection-editor, btw, which is a kind of handy all-purpose
workaround for 'anything that's still missing from GNOME 3's network
applet' (you can use it for hidden networks too).
