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