NetworkManager is designed to be fully automatic and “Just Work” without intervention, but friendly desktop applications allow users to control the state of the network if they desire. NetworkManager keeps a list of all available network devices, and updates that list when you insert or remove new network cards, dock your laptop, etc. Using this list, NetworkManager determines the best device to use for the computer's network connection.
