Robby Workman 4851069dfd network/NetworkManager: Included several patches from upstream
This commit adds quite a few patches from the upstream
NM_0_8 git branch.  Most of them are bugfix-only patches,
but the two dealing with /etc/hosts policy are changes in
behavior.  This *should* be an improvement for us, but if
you notice any ill effects, please advise.

slack-desc

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.
