33 <para>
34 <application>NetworkManager</application> is a set of co-operative
35 tools that make networking simple and straightforward. Whether you use WiFi,
36 wired, 3G, or Bluetooth, NetworkManager allows you to quickly move from
37 one network to another: Once a network has been configured and joined
38 once, it can be detected and re-joined automatically the next time it's
39 available.

142 If you wish to run the tests, check that at least the following options

148 <!-- Ethernet Teaming support is potentially optional, but I didn't
149 run the tests again to test that. It was needed to convince one of
150 the Linux Platform tests to move farther along because otherwise
151 RTNETLINK would respond with an Error 95 - unknown device type.
152 This would cause the test to fail early on in the process.
153
154 [pierre, Nov 2022]: I cannot tell whether these options are
155 the only ones that are needed. They are the options I had to add
156 in order to have some tests pass. But I already had some other
157 options set for packet filtering (iptables), that may not be
158 available by default and may be necessary. Even with the options
159 below still one test (test-route) fails.-->
