[Sugar-devel] Wanting to know a bit of (NetworkManager) workflow upon resume-from-suspend

[Ajay Garg]

Martin,

just out of curiosity .. a logical query comes to my mind.


Why, and to whom, are packets forwarded, even though no user has joined any

Thanks in advance for being my teacher :D


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
