- Recommend NetworkNanager-wifi from the main package: after the split, there is currently nothing pulling in NM-wifi. Preferably this would happen based on wifi chips prsence, but that is not yet done (boo#1199550). - Modify NetworkManager.spec: Split into a few small subpackages (bsc#1198128).
BEWARE: NetworkManager has been split into smaller chunks to better server various use cases, making it possible to be installed with smaller foot prints.
As for NetworkManager-wifi.rpm, it requires libglib and wpa_supplicant, both of which are already needed by NetworkManager.rpm. So separting *that particular* component was a rather questionable move.
It actually rather looks like the dep on wpa_supplicant was missed to move to -wifi
wpa_supplicant is also used for Ethernet authentication with 802.1x.
