    ModemManager
    The ModemManager service manages WWAN modems and provides a consistent API for
    interacting with these devices to client applications.
    NetworkManager
    NetworkManager is a system service that manages network interfaces and
    connections based on user or automatic configuration. It supports
    Ethernet, Bridge, Bond, VLAN, Team, InfiniBand, Wi-Fi, mobile broadband
    (WWAN), PPPoE and other devices, and supports a variety of different VPN
    services.
    NetworkManager-libreswan
    This package contains software for integrating the libreswan VPN software
    with NetworkManager and the GNOME desktop
    network-manager-applet
    This package contains a network control and status notification area applet
    for use with NetworkManager.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2015-0272
    GNOME NetworkManager allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (IPv6 traffic disruption) via a crafted MTU value in an IPv6
    Router Advertisement (RA) message, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2015-8215.
    CVE-2015-2924
    The receive_ra function in rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c in the Neighbor
    Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in
    NetworkManager 1.x allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit
    setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA)
    message, a similar issue to CVE-2015-2922.
    Fixed bugs:
    * It was not previously possible to set the Wi-Fi band to the a or bg values to lock to a specific
    frequency band. NetworkManager has been fixed, and it now sets the wpa_supplicant's freq_list option
    correctly, which enables proper Wi-Fi band locking.
    * NetworkManager immediately failed activation of devices that did not have a carrier early in the boot
    process. The legacy network.service then reported activation failure. Now, NetworkManager has a grace
    period during which it waits for the carrier to appear. Devices that have a carrier down for a short time
    on system startup no longer cause the legacy network.service to fail.
    * NetworkManager brought down a team device if the teamd service managing it exited unexpectedly, and the
    team device was deactivated. Now, NetworkManager respawns the teamd instances that disappear and is able
    to recover from a teamd failure avoiding disruption of the team device operation.
    * NetworkManager did not send the FQDN DHCP option even if host name was set to FQDN. Consequently,
    Dynamic DNS (DDNS) setups failed to update the DNS records for clients running NetworkManager. Now,
    NetworkManager sends the FQDN option with DHCP requests, and the DHCP server is able to create DNS records
    for such clients.
    * The command-line client was not validating the vlan.flags property correctly, and a spurious warning
    message was displayed when the nmcli tool worked with VLAN connections. The validation routine has been
    fixed, and the warning message no longer appears.
    * NetworkManager did not propagate a media access control (MAC) address change from a bonding interface to
    a VLAN interface on top of it. Consequently, a VLAN interface on top of a bond used an incorrect MAC
    address. Now, NetworkManager synchronizes the addresses correctly.
    Enhancements:
    * IPv6 Privacy extensions are now enabled by default. NetworkManager checks the per-network configuration
    files, NetworkManager.conf, and then falls back to /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/use_tempaddr to
    determine and set IPv6 privacy settings at device activation.
    * The NetworkManager command-line tool, nmcli, now allows setting the wake-on-lan property to 0 (none,
    disable, disabled).
    * NetworkManager now provides information about metered connections.
    * NetworkManager daemon and the connection editor now support setting the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
    of a bond. It is now possible to change MTU of a bond interface in a GUI.
    * NetworkManager daemon and the connection editor now support setting the MTU of a team, allowing to
    change MTU of a teaming interface.
