Comment 5 for bug 731737

Hi Mathieu,
I will get with Sergio Zanchetta on this. All the laptop testing has been
moved into, http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/ , the laptop testing tracker. All
the information still needs to be updated.
Will the functions of Network Manager change drastically? Do you have an
estimate of completion of the developmental changes? I will probably do some
interim updating because I don't think the test is usable in it's current
state.
I will get back to you after I hear from Sergio.
Thanks,
Mark
