Description Mounir Lamouri (volkmar) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-07-10 19:34:15 UTC 
Currently, there is a hard dependency that seems uneeded. modemmanager should probably be pulled-in with a USE flag or even just be considered as third party.

Confirming that I can install and use networkmanager-0.8.4.0-r1 without modemmanager.

Hi Mouni,

Yes, you're right we've made ppp optional dependency and modemmanager should only be used with ppp use flag. I'll try to get it fixed today.
