Fedora Update Notification

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : NetworkManager
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 0.8.0
Release     : 12.git20100504.fc13
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 IPv6 connectivity (including configurations that
disable IPv4 completely), handling of WEP passphrases in system-wide
connections, and various crashes of the network applet. This update also
provides more robust behavior in dual-stack networks, allowing one of IPv4 or
IPv6 configuration to fail as long as the other completes.
