Ubuntu Network Manager

Network-Manager is a native Ubuntu Snappy connection manager. The application can be used to configure the Edge Gateway so
that it's automatically-detected and connected to the network. The application can be used to configure multiple network devices.
A command-line utility nmcli is included with Network-Manager to support non-graphical user interface configurations.
