+ 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.
