NetworkManager

NetworkManager provides automatic network detection and configuration for the system. When enabled the NetworkManager service monitors the network interface and may switch to the best connection available. Applications that include NetworkManager integration may automatically switch between on-line and off-line modes when the system gains or loses network connectivity.

These features are mainly useful for modern laptops, where the user may switch between available wireless networks, and plug in to a variety of wired networks. The NetworkManager also provides features that are relevant to workstations. Network Manager in Fedora 13 supports modem, wireless, wired, mobile broadband and xDSL connections. Certain types of VPN are also available.

NetworkManager interfaces with available drivers in Fedora 13. Many manufacturers of modens and wireless devices provide limited support for Linux. You may need to install additional drivers or firmware on Fedora 13 in order to activate some of this interfaces.
