Hi Christian,

are you asking for general information how system settings work or very
specific, how the keyfile format for system settings is specified?

For the former, see NetworkManager.conf(5) resp
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings

For the keyfile specification see
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/settings-spec-08.html

I could install docs/settings-spec.html and docs/spec.html from the tarball if
you consider that useful. I just wonder if that should be shipped in the
network-manager package itself, or one of the -dev packages.

Cheers,
Michael
