Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2010-5226
2010-03-24 22:18:45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : NetworkManager
Product : Fedora 12
Version : 0.8.0
Release : 6.git20100408.fc12
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update fixes issues with PIN checking, device recognition, network access
detection, Bluetooth DUN and PAN, and corrects updates to /etc/hosts when the
hostname has changed. It also adds support for graphical mobile broadband
status updates of access technology and signal strength, and allows the user to
set roaming and 2G/3G preference for GSM networks. It also fixes issues with
Enterprise WiFi networks continually requesting passwords, an issue with
automatically connecting WiFi networks on resume, and failures to connect to
Blackberry devices using Bluetooth DUN.
