 		<application>NetworkManager</application> can now create and edit system-wide network connections in <filename>/etc/sysconfig</filename>. <application>NetworkManager</application> has been able to read information about system-wide network connections from <filename>/etc/sysconfig</filename> for a while. Now we have enabled full read-write support for system connections. The ability to create or modify new system connections will be controlled by <application>PolicyKit</application> policies. Initially, only wired and wireless connections will be supported. Later on, vpn connections will follow. For connections that require secrets, those will be stored in <filename>.keys</filename> files in <filename>/etc/sysconfig</filename>.

 		By providing a database of preconfigured mobile broadband providers, supporting more hardware, and permitting scanning of GSM networks, <application>NetworkManager</application> makes the use of mobile broadband much easier. Your broadband provider will be automatically recognized by <application>NetworkManager</application> and it will make it easy to just plug it your USB device and get you online within minutes.

 		Configuring the network interfaces on a machine for moderately complicated yet common scenarios is generally only accessible to advanced users, and very poorly supported by existing tools. Such scenarios include creating a bridge and enslaving a physical NIC to it, or bonding two NICs, adding a VLAN interface to the bond and enslaving that to a bridge.

 		In order to support Bluetooth devices, the Bluetooth background service was started by default in previous versions of Fedora. In this release, the Bluetooth service is started on demand when needed and automatically stops 30 seconds after last device use instead. This reduces initial startup time and resources.
