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 repeated requests for passwords, and includes fixes for migrating VPN connections.  Existing connections already migrated to 0.9 are not changed, but this update will migrate connections correctly for users that update to Fedora 15.
This update fixes an issue where, if a user name was not specified in a VPN connection's configuration, the connection could fail.  It also fixes a possible crash when programs that link to NetworkManager libraries also link to NSS.
- core: fix connection deactivation on the compat interface
- core: give default wired connections a more friendly name
- core: fix base type of newly created wired connections
- applet: many updated translations
- Fix trigger to enable the systemd service when upgrading from a F14 system with NM enabled (rh #678553)
