NetworkManager has been bumped to a 0.7 SVN snapshot.
What's Awesome
----------------------------
* Faster connections
* Kill kill kill dhcdbdbddbbdbdbbdbd
* More reliable wireless connections
* Doesn't mash together wireless networks with the same SSID (but
different security, bands, or modes)
* Richer, saner D-Bus API (including introspection)
What Will Be Awesome in F8 (or soon thereafter)
-----------------------------------------------
* Static IPs (more than one if you like!)
* Custom DNS servers and search domains
* Better support for all the wireless security modes
* Multiple active device support (Internet connection sharing, woohoo!)
* A solid API and infrastructure to add stuff like Bluetooth DUN,
Bluetooth PAN, cellular broadband cards, etc
* Get connected when the system boots and don't have to wait for login
What's Busted Right Now (but will be fixed ASAP)
------------------------------------------------
* Does not support WEP passphrases
* Does not support WPA[2] Enterprise, IEEE801.X (Dynamic WEP), or LEAP
* Does not support hidden networks
* Does not autoconnect to last wireless network
* OpenVPN VPN plugin busted
* SELinux Enforcing mode is rocky
