Name        : NetworkManager
Product     : Fedora 11
Version     : 0.7.2.997
Release     : 1.fc11
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 a possible crash when resuming from suspend and corrects an
issue creating AdHoc WiFi networks.  Additionally, it fixes a bug where IP
addresses or gateways would not be recognized when entered in the connection
editor application.
