Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2009-13165
2009-12-16 00:18:12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : NetworkManager
Product : Fedora 12
Version : 0.7.997
Release : 2.git20091214.fc12
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.

Update Information:
This update includes fixes for various crashes, mobile broadband connections and
devices, ifcfg file handling, 802.1x certificates, and system connection
