> - adapt packaging to new files in /usr/lib/libDrakX/network/net_applet
> - 0.35
> - cellular backend:
>  o add suport for cdc_acm USB modems in cellular backend
>  o install ppp (thanks Anssi) and bluez-utils when configuring a
>   cellular connection over bluetooth
>  o hso devices support (using ttyHS0 device and hso0 interface)
>   using ifup-hso script, together with dkms-hso and hso-rezero
>  o do not write DEBUG=yes for hso devices
>  o write CELLULAR_CID in ifcfg file if needed
>  o call comgt instead of gcom
>  o update chat/ppp files when connecting to a cellular network
>  o fix check for SIM card (adapt to latest comgt output)
>  o use "comgt PIN" to check cellular cards status
>  o use ttyUSB2 or ttyUSB1 as control device for usbserial devices
>   when possible
>  o hang when waiting for comgt to finish (not to have a zombie
> process) o guess provider according to APN from chat file or from
>   configuration of current network
> - cellular providers:
>  o add BouygTel, SFR WAP (Illimythics / Pass Surf), SFR EeePC
>  o add Finnish providers (from Anssi)
>  o fix APN for TIM provider (from Giuseppe Ghibo)
>  o enhance label of SFR Web APN
> - ethernet backend:
>  o do not disable ONBOOT for PCMCIA interfaces (ifplugd is used by
> default) o fix blacklisting via_velocity for ifplugd
>  o do not blacklist ifplugd for via_velocity, use a link detection
>   delay instead (reported working by Stefan van der Eijk)
> - generic backend:
>  o find gateway address for ptp connections with only one interface
>   route (like hso devices)
> - wireless backend:
>  o do not try to use mandi if not available
>  o really force using wireless-tools when wpa_supplicant gives empty
>   results (by removing useless info from wpa_cli output)
>  o add network to wpa_supplicant config if needed when connecting
>   (drakroam/netcenter)
>  o use signal level if all reported qualities are 100% and if signal
>   level is different
>  o parse "Signal level=" as well (was only parsing "Signal level:")
>  o try to normalize signal level reported by wpa_supplicant only if
>   some values are greater than 100
>  o refresh networks list when switching from non-roaming to roaming
>   (to get wpa_supplicant network IDs)
>  o default to roaming for all encryption types if ROAMING is true in
>   /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net
>  o do not write ONBOOT setting in access point files
> - connection frontends:
>  o make "Any" translatable in providers list (#40926)
>  o ask for ndiswrapper files in /media (not inexistant /media/cdrom)
> - connection managers (drakroam/draknetcenter):
>  o do not check and warn thrice about device setup (i.e. kill switch)
>  o allow to select provider (useful for cellular cards)
>  o check hardware and probe networks if not already done when
>  expanding connection
>  o show wait message when checking hardware
>  o do not let interactive::gtk set huge window size when asking
>   hardware settings (PIN code)
> - drakconnect:
>  o allow skipping interface choice if AUTOMATIC_IFACE_CHOICE is true
>   in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net and only one "automatic" interface is
>   detected (i.e. not ndiswrapper)
>  o allow to skip protocol and address configuration (defaulting to
> dhcp) if AUTOMATIC_ADDRESS is true in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net
> - draknetcenter:
>  o do not use a networks list when there is only one network, just
>   use one text line (cellular cards)
> - drakproxy: factorize code restarting window manager (tv)
> - net_applet:
>  o do not read modules_conf (saves 92 kB of RSS, 25808 -> 25716)
>  o allow to disable D-Bus usage by setting DBUS=no
> in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net (saves about 5200 kB of RSS memory)
>   this disables Interactive Firewall and switching wireless network
>   in the background without being root
>  o do not try to run ifw code if disabled (total memory gain of 156
> kB after network::net_applet::ifw move, if D-Bus is disabled)
>  o autostart in LXDE too (Funda Wang)
> - translation updates

OMG what a big changelog.
