<title>Introduction to NetworkManager</title>
<para>
<application>NetworkManager</application> is a set of co-operative
tools that make networking simple and straightforward. Whether WiFi, wired,
3G, or Bluetooth, NetworkManager allows you to quickly move from one network
to another: Once a network has been configured and joined once, it can be
detected and re-joined automatically the next time it's available.
