+ \section1 Network and Roaming support
+
+ With the addition of the \l {Bearer Management} API to Qt 4.7
+ QNetworkAccessManager gained the ability to manage network connections.
+ QNetworkAccessManager can start the network interface if the device is
+ offline and terminates the interface if the current process is the last
+ one to use the uplink. Note that some platform utilize grace periods from
+ when the last application stops using a uplink until the system actually
+ terminates the connectivity link. Roaming is equally transparent. Any
+ queued/pending network requests are automatically transferred to new
+ access point.
+
+ Clients wanting to utilize this feature should not require any changes. In fact
+ it is likely that existing platform specific connection code can simply be
+ removed from the application.
+
+ \note The network and roaming support in QNetworkAccessManager is conditional
+ upon the platform supporting connection management. The
+ \l QNetworkConfigurationManager::NetworkSessionRequired can be used to
+ detect whether QNetworkAccessManager utilizes this feature. Currently only
+ Meego/Harmattan and Symbian platforms provide connection management support.
+
+ \note This feature cannot be used in combination with the Bearer Management
+ API as provided by QtMobility. Applications have to migrate to the Qt version
+ of Bearer Management.
