NetworkManager

Bonding and Bridging

NetworkManager now supports expanded bonding and functionality and cooperates better with existing bonding or bridging tools and configurations. This allows greater interoperability with virtualization solutions like libvirt.

Note: Managed devices will not appear in configuration applets unless the applet supports these device types.

Example configurations are available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/Bridging and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/Bonding .
