Description Matthias Clasen 2009-02-12 04:52:52 UTC 
Two reasons lead me to propose that the docs for the network-admin application are better off outside the user-guide:

- It seems gnome-system-tools ships with its own, more comprehensive docs for it anyway

- Some distros are using NetworkManager instead of gnome-system-tools to manage networking, and having this one piece of gnome-system-tools docs sitting inside the user guide makes it hard for these distros to not ship misleading docs.

There's a lot more going on in this patch than just the removal of the network-admin docs.

This seems all right to me, provided we wouldn't be breaking any Help buttons.  Could somebody verify that there are no links to this from network-admin or the network-admin docs?

Apparently, nobody has answered yet. What to do with bug? Do you accept it as an issue worth fixing? Then please set to NEW, else to WONTFIX :-)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

Closing this bug as obsolete since the user-guide is now deprecated in favour of gnome-help (targeting GNOME 3.x). The gnome-help covers Network Manager anyway.
