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

Name        : NetworkManager
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 0.8.1
Release     : 9.git20100831.fc12
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 an issue where NetworkManager would not be told by pm-utils to wake up after resuming from suspend or hibernate.
This update preserves custom hostnames on local-mapped lines in /etc/hosts, and fixes an issue with out-dated information being left in the /etc/hosts file, which sometimes prevented logging in after suspend/hibernate.
