| There is a project going on to get [[https://launchpad.net/indicator-network|Network Menu]] and [[http://connman.net/|Connection Manager]] (connman) to Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition (UNE). | [[http://connman.net/|Connection Manager]] (ConnMan) is a daemon for managing internet connections in Linux. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible, so it can be easily integrated. The primary use case is embedded systems, but it can be also used in desktop environments. |
