Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 0.8.1
Release     : 5.git20100818.fc14
URL         : http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
Summary     : Network connection manager and user applications
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 issues with systemd interaction and startup, 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.
