network-manager 1.56.0-2

Package Information

Descriptionnetwork management framework (daemon and userspace tools)

NetworkManager is a system network service that manages your network devices and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when available. It manages ethernet, Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (WWAN), and PPPoE devices, and provides VPN integration with a variety of different VPN services.

This package provides the userspace daemons and a command line interface to interact with NetworkManager.

Optional dependencies: * ppp: Required for establishing dial-up connections (e.g. via GSM). * dnsmasq-base/nftables or iptables: Required for creating Ad-hoc connections and connection sharing. * libteam-utils: Network Team driver allows multiple network interfaces to be teamed together and act like a single one. This process is called "ethernet bonding", "channel teaming" or "link aggregation".

   * Enable Open vSwitch (OVS) support.
     This includes a drop-in config for NetworkManager.service which changes
     its ordering. So ship the plugin in a separate package named
     network-manager-ovs. (Closes: #1127478)
