Hi Anand,

gnome-network has been superseded by gnome-nettool. Could you please
test it against that instead (I'm not at home right now)? I'm still
waiting for ftp-master to move it out of queue/new and to delete
gnome-nettool. I'd really appreciate it if you can pull some strings
with them as I have two packages stuck there right now (gtksourceview
[libgtksourceview-doc is new] and gnome-nettool).

Thanks,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
