Mybe it is a good idea if you update your patch and submit it to the
gnome-network-list as well, not only to bugzilla.

Is there a release plan for 2.6 somewhere? Sorry if this is a stupid
question,
but i'm relative new to GNOME development. I'm asking because I'm
working on
the gnome-remote-shell and want to update the UI more than already done
last week
and add want to add some more functionality, especially connection
profiles.

BTW: Adding libgnetwork and noone needs this library doesn't make sense.
I think it's better to add this library when it is really needed.
