Changelog: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.6/NetworkManager-0.6.5.changes Thanks a lot Reproducible: Always
We know, I've been working on it, just trying to figure out the best way to pull in the nm-applet since it is gnome only, and split out rather than in the core, so someone who just bumps NetworkManager will not have a front end
OK, then, I will close the bug report :-) thanks a lot
*** Bug 175795 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I submitted my ebuilds in bug 175795. Perhaps there is some way auto-emerge the nm-applet if we detect that the user has gnome installed? Similarly we would want to emerge knetworknamager if kde is installed... It seems like any automation within the ebuild to include the nm-applet from networkmanager will create a circular dependency. I'm not a portage expert but I don't think that it supports auto-building of forward dependencies based on your installed packages. Good luck Steev and Luis ;)
No, it doesn't do autodetection like that, unfortunately, however, this *is* PDEPEND - at the moment knetworkmanager isn't in the tree - but when nesl247 (if he isn't already) becomes a dev, I know that was one of the things he was working on - so at the moment, my ebuild has this PDEPEND="gnome? ( >=gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.6.5 )" and after knetworkmanager gets added we could do something like PDEPEND="gnome? ( >=gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.6.5 ) kde? ( >=category/knetworkmanager-0.0.2 )" Those are my thoughts - just need to add a blocker on older versions of network manager in nm-applet - I should, assuming I don't lose power in the storms tonight, *hopefully* have it in the tree by tonight (networkmanager and nm-applet 0.6.5 that is)

I will reopen this bug for doing it more "visible" at networkmanager bug list when, for example, "bugs" link is pressed in http://packages.gentoo.org
I am using NetworkManager with wired connection and have 2 issues with it: 1) No way to set nameserver without dhcp - ip, mask and gateway are parsed from /etc.conf.d/net but nameserver (dns_server_eth0) - not. 2) No script to run NetworkManagerDispatcher - I am using it now to add nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf when my eth0 is up. Also, there was try to run /usr/bin/killall instead of /bin/killall in Gentoo backend in NetworkManager 0.6.4. One more thing is absent of documentation on how to use NetworkManager in Gentoo - what params should be set in /etc/conf.d/net to non-dhcp networks work.
