Comment:

 The [http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-
 list/2011-March/msg00020.html first beta] of NM 0.9 has been released. The
 full list of [http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ApiSimplify API
 changes] and a [http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers
 /migrating-to-09/ migration guide] are available.

 As part of the 0.9 migration I'd like us to show configured connections in
 addition to the currently visible access points. This should help users
 working in less-than-perfect environments (disabled beacons, VPNs, access
 points on different sites that need different credentials but have the
 same SSID, etc.).

 For the reasons outlined in the original description above, Sugar isn't
 going to support configuring non-empty
 [http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ApiSimplify#Permissions_and_Security
 ACLs] and won't provide a
 [http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ApiSimplify#Secret_Agents Secret
 Agent]. Additional software (e.g. nm-applet) can be used for complicated
 multi-user set-ups.
