Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

NetworkManager will abandon the management of mobile broadband to ModemManager.

See the blog of NM author : http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/03/20/thats-when-i-reach-for-my-revolver

A ITP exists for packaging ModemManager (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546587) and
a package exists for Ubuntu (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?modemmanager&keywords=searchon=names&suite=all&section=all).

Can you package ModemManager, please?

Regards.
