30.6 Managing Network Connections
NetworkManager is the ideal solution for a mobile workstation. With NetworkManager,
you do not need to worry about reconfiguring network interfaces and switching between
networks when your location changes. NetworkManager can automatically connect to
known WLAN networks. If you have two or more connection possibilities, it can connect
to the faster one.
NetworkManager is not a suitable solution in the following cases:
• You want to use more than one provider for dial-up for one interface.
• Your computer is a router for your network.
• Your computer provides network services for other computers in your network, for
example, it is a DHCP or DNS server.
• Your computer is a Xen server or your system is a virtual system inside Xen.
