\fBtuned\fR is a dynamic adaptive system tuning daemon
that tunes system settings dynamically depending on
-usage.
+usage. It does so by monitoring the usage of several system components
+periodically. Based on that information components will then be put into
+lower or higher power saving modes to adapt to the current usage. Currently
+only ethernet network and ATA harddisk devices are implemented.

-There are no known bugs. To file bug reports, see \fBAUTHORS\fP below.
+If you are using tuned together with NetworkManager at the moment NetworkManager
+will completely stop and start a managed device when tuned switches power
+saving levels. This happens because the network device will loose it's physical
+link for a very short time when it performs a power saving switch and
+NetworkManager can not distinguish this from a connectivity loss. This will be
+resolved in future versions of tuned and NM where NM will gain the mechanism to
+switch speeds for network devices.
