Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2008-10263
None
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : NetworkManager
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 0.7.0
Release : 0.12.svn4326.fc8
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.
