Fedora Core 4: Essential DNF Upgrade - FEDORA-2006-037 Information

fedora
Calendar Grey January 17, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Announcement for Fedora Core 3: NetworkManager addresses DHCP challenges and improves connectivity capabilities.
Please see RPM Changelog for fixes and new features since the last version.

Summary

NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available

at all

times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not

intended for

usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking

configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using

DHCP,

NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP

addresses

from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

Please see RPM Changelog for fixes and new features

since the last version.

- Update to latest CVS

- Fixes to DHCP code

- Link-Local (ZeroConf/Rendezvous) support

- Use bind in "caching-nameserver" mode to work around stupidity

in glibc's resolver library not recognizing resolv.conf changes

- #rh144818# Clean up the specfile (Patch from Matthias Saou)

- Ad-Hoc mode support with Link-Local addressing only (for now)

- Fixes for device activation race conditions

- Wireless scanning in separate thread

* Wed Dec 08 2004 - 0.3.2-4.3.cvs20041208

- Update to CVS

- Updates to link detection, DHCP code

- Remove NMLaunchHelper so we start up faster and don't

block for a connection. This means services that depend

on the network may fail if they start right after NM

- Make sure DHCP renew/rebinding works

* Wed Nov 17 2004 - 0.3.2-3.cvs20041117

- Update to CVS

- Fixes to link detection

- Better detection of non-ESSID-broadcasting access points

- Don't dialog-spam the user if a connection fails

* Thu Nov 11 2004 - 0.3.2-2.cvs20041115

- Update to CVS

- Much better link detection, works with Open System authentication

- Blacklist wireless cards rather than whitelisting them
