NetworkManager ~~objects~~ are used for all code paths except for the test for wireless hardware.

NetworkManager interfaces are used for all code paths except for the test for wireless hardware.

: OLPC 13.2.0 uses NetworkManager 0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18, which does not list wireless connections when the radio is disabled. The kernel ~~API in~~ the {{Code|/sys/module/cfg80211/holders/}} directory ~~has been more stable~~.

: OLPC 13.2.0 uses NetworkManager 0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18, which does not list wireless connections when the radio is disabled. The kernel module database at the {{Code|/sys/module/cfg80211/holders/}} directory reveals if any wireless drivers are available in memory.

Some corner cases in behavior have been ignored: If a custom GSM (or other non-wireless or non-mesh) connection had been created, they would no longer be discarded by the 'Discard ...' button. These could not be created by the graphical Sugar interface, so their creators are most likely capable of discarding them if needed.
