Well, in particular, I'll be moving a new
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.53.20110616git.nm09.fc15
build into f15's kde-testing repo shortly. As opposed to prior
plasma-nm builds in f15 that use some hacks/patches in nm-0.9 to be
backward compatible with nm-0.8 clients, these newer builds will use
nm-0.9 in native mode.
That's a lot of techno-gibberish, admittedly, but what it means is this
native nm-0.9 support is the future. Moving forward, we'd like to get a
native nm09 client into f15 as soon as possible, and that means we need
to test, test, test this sucker.
So, please go forth and do. Thank you.

I'm testing. First experience was bad - just updated and then logout/login.
Pretty much locked up the machine. Had to force reboot. This means the upgrade
path may not be possible - might have to wait for F16.
After reboot, seems to work on wired at least. Haven't tried wireless yet.
In case of disaster, what is the procedure to downgrade (assuming I can get a
network connection somehow)?
