<p>NetworkManager is designed to be fully automatic by default, but offer a high level of manual
control when required. To use NetworkManager, its service must be started. Simply start the
<kbd>NetworkManager</kbd> service. NetworkManager ships with initscripts to do this for most distributions.
If your distribution is not supported, we would appreciate patches to include support for your distribution
of choice. NetworkManager will then automatically start other services as it requires them
(nm-system-settings for system-wide connections, wpa_supplicant for WPA and 802.1x connections, and pppd for
mobile broadband).</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
- <p>NetworkManager is designed to be secure, but that does not obsolete standard network security
practices. Security must be implemented in each network. NetworkManager supports most network security
methods and protocols, including WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise, wired 802.1x, and VPNs.
NetworkManager stores network secrets (encryption keys, login information) using secure storage, either in
the user's keyring (for user-specific connections) or protected by normal system administrator permissions
(like root) for system-wide connections. Various network operations can be locked down with <a
href="http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/">PolicyKit</a> for even finer grained control over network
connections.</p>

<h2>VPN</h2>
<p>NetworkManager has pluggable support for VPN software, including Cisco compatible VPNs (using <a
href="http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/">vpnc</a>), <a href="http://openvpn.net">openvpn</a>, and
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). Support for other vpn clients is welcomed. Simply install the
NetworkManager VPN plugin your site uses, and pre-load the user's machines with the VPN's settings. The
first time they connect, the user will be asked for their passwords.</p>
