This is probably not a list for that level of detail on that subject this list is specific to a single application that is called Network Manager, I would look for a Forum or mailing list dedicated to your Linux Distro for that question.
For example Ubuntu has an active community at www.ubuntuforums.org where there are a number of posts that answer your question specifically for the ubuntu Distro.
