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.

this package contains a convenience library to ease the access to networkmanager.
