Description :
NetworkManager is a system network service that manages your network devices
and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when available.
It manages ethernet, WiFi, mobile broadband (WWAN), and PPPoE devices, and
provides VPN integration with a variety of different VPN services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes a security issue caused by dbus-glib (CVE-2010-1172), enhances
interaction with the /etc/hosts file, enables DHCPv6-only configurations,
ensures that connections will not fail if the DHCP lease unexpectedly expires
and is reacquired, works around unstable behavior of proprietary wireless
drivers, quiets annoying warning messages, fixes crashes when editing system and
WPA Enterprise connections, and hides mobile broadband PIN/PUK codes when asking
the user for them.
