-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-8376 2010-05-11 19:06:10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : NetworkManager Product : Fedora 12 Version : 0.8.1 Release : 0.1.git20100510.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 fixes issues with IPv6 connectivity (including configurations that disable IPv4 completely), handling of WEP passphrases in system-wide connections, and various crashes of the network applet. It also provides more robust behavior in dual-stack networks (allowing one of IPv4 or IPv6 configuration to fail as long as the other completes) and fixes problems with Bluetooth PAN connections, and Bluetooth DUN configuration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 10 2010 Dan Williams <[email protected]> -
