+long_desc="
+ 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 systray applet for GNOME\'s notification area but it
+ also works for other desktop environments which provide a systray like KDE or
+ Xfce. It displays the available networks and allows to easily switch between
+ them. For encrypted networks it will prompt the user for the key/passphrase
+ and it can optionally store them in the gnome-keyring."
