It's clear, yes, it just doesn't mean what you think it means. It's the addition of a public interface to NM's internal concept of 'metered', which has been around for some time. It does *not* necessarily mean that NM detects tethering and marks tethered connections as 'metered'. I know it didn't used to do that, and that there's been some kind of plan to add it; I don't know if it's actually been added yet, and if so, if it's in 1.0.6, and that text does not state either way. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
