Right now there is no knetworkmanager in the portage tree. If the KDE4 user needs networkmanager, one has to use nm-applet from gnome. The wicd alternative has much limitation, such no ppp, no broadband, no VPN and so on. The knetworkmanager has released a usable version for KDE4. There is currently no stable release but certain SVN version is adopted by other distributions: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/knetworkmanager There is a discussion in the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-789332-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html There is a 9999 version in the kde-testing, which requires QT_MINIMAL="4.6.0_beta". I think certain SVN version can be adopted and included in the main tree. The USE flag and the ebuild script can be refined. Thank you! Reproducible: Always

Debian has snapshot for KDE 4.x only in Experimental, http://packages.debian.org/experimental/network-manager-kde The "equivalent" of experimental is kde-testing overlay, http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=blob_plain;f=kde-misc/knetworkmanager/knetworkmanager-9999.ebuild;hb=HEAD Closing as LATER.
