Added System → Preferences → Network Connections since the other path was already there. Added a link to upstream’s doc.

Built, looks good. Please review :)

The link to the upstream doc feels wrong: that’s a wiki, so best case it’ll be kept up-to-date and document the latest version of NetworkManager, and worst case it’ll be outdated. The GNOME Help system (at least on Jessie, didn’t check on Wheezy) has lots of chapters and tips and all about networking configuration, that supposedly matches the installed version of NM => IMO we should instead point to it.

> Added System → Preferences → Network Connections since the other path was already there

I can’t see where the other path (that starts with right-clicking on the NM icon) is documented. Not sure which path is best to document, perhaps the one that’ll take less effort to port to Jessie will be best?

Indeed, that’s much better!

• At least one occurrence of “NetworkManager” lacks CSS styling.
• What’s the need to document two ways of opening NM’s connection editor?
• I think “To access NetworkManager choose” is pretty vague. It could be phrased a bit better, to express what actual use case can be addressed by following these instructions. See this very ticket’s description for hints :)
• IMO the paragraph you’re adding is for people who need advanced, non-default configuration. So it should not be added on top of the page, before we’ve even described what NM is for and its basic usage. I’m not sure exactly where it should go, but further down the page I’m positive.

It’s improving!

• Better avoid “on the top right on the screen” since it won’t be correct in right-to-left languages.
• “It is possible to edit a special configuration” doesn’t feel very clear to me. I think it should be reworded, and perhaps an example would help (not sure).
• “Edit Connections…” lacks the proper CSS styling.

I think the styling you’ve set for “Edit Connections…” is incorrect, and should use guimenuitem instead: see https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/documentation/guidelines/#index3h1.

Otherwise, alright for me, please reassign to sajolida for a (hopefully) final review once you’ve fixed that. Congrats!

Thanks for the branch, I merged it.

I did a bunch of minor fixes on top of yours, see 138d64a..5eb47bc:

• Shorten a few things
• Apply GDSG on a few other things
• Fixed your example which was wrong (autoconnect is already by default in Tails Wheezy)

Ah, and I highly recommend you to active spellchecking by default on your text editor. You would have catched an easy one…
