Hello.
This is call for testing nwam manager to OpenIndiana Hipster desktop 
users.

I've just rebuilt nwam-manager and updated it a bit from sources which 
were available before OpenSolaris.org was closed.

I've checked that it works with standard configuration - manual 
assigning address, DHCP, ipf rules settings and so on.

It's not a big update, so I don't expect that it breaks a lot. We 
currenty ship nwam-manager 1.146.0.
This version is based on 1.151.0.  It mostly includes some GUI fixes 
some cleanup from upstream. Also one small, but
pleasant thing - if you have necessary auths, nwam-manager-properties 
will not launch gksu. Plus patches required
to build nwam-manager with GCC.

To test nwam manager:
0) update your system
1) create backup boot environment
2) add my test repository to the list of publishers

# pkg set-publisher -P -g 
http://buildzone.oi-build.r61.net:1000/en/index.shtml userland

3) install nwam-manager

# pkg install 
pkg://userland/desktop/administration/nwam-manager@1.151.0,5.11-2014.1.3.524:20141213T110739Z

4) Use it as you use it usually and please report any differences in 
behavior.
