NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all
|
|
times. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and
|
|
setup as painless and automatic as possible. NetworkManager is intended to
|
|
replace default route, replace other routes, set IP addresses, and in general
|
|
configure networking as NM sees fit (with the possibility of manual override as
|
|
necessary). In effect, the goal of NetworkManager is to make networking Just
|
|
Work with a minimum of user hassle, but still allow customization and a high
|
|
level of manual network control.

You will probably want to install network-manager-applet (for a configuration
|
|
UI) for sure, along with ModemManager (if you want support for configuring
|
|
broadband modem connections) perhaps one or more of the VPN-related addons.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to start rc.networkmanager during boot - you can use
|
|
rc.local, or perhaps you'll want to edit rc.M's call to rc.wicd... :-)
