 <title>NetworkManager</title>
 
+  <p>
+    NetworkManager manages a computer's network connections.  It takes care of
+    DHCP negotiation to get an IP address for the computer when its networking
+    is first activated.  It lets users select between different wired and
+    wireless networks, configure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and connect to
+    the network with modems.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    NetworkManager provides an extensive API that lets applications control
+    network connections.  However, this is mostly only of interest to the
+    software that implements the core desktop itself.  Regular applications can
+    use NetworkManager's API to monitor the online/offline state of the
+    computer, and perform other high-level tasks related to the network.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    The core desktop shell in GNOME has a prominent NetworkManager icon;
+    internally it uses the NetworkManager API to change network settings based
+    on the user's choices.  Applications such as Evolution, which
+    need to know about the online/offline status of the computer, use
+    NetworkManager as well.
