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