Package: libnm-glib-dev (0.6.6-3)

network management framework (GLib interface)

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 provides the interface that applications can use to query connection status via NetworkManager.
