 Description: network management framework daemon
- NetworkManager - great networking since 2004, powered by dbus and hal
-  * automatic switching between active devices
-  * discovery of available wireless networks
-  * easy switching to new wireless networks
+ 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.
+ .
+ This package provides the userspace daemons and a notification applet to
+ control the system.
