Having both networkmanager and net.eth scripts in the default run level causes networkmanager's attempt to run dhcp to fail (dhcpcd already running -> die). Gnome will start and network manager will be running but show the connection broken icon. Restarting networkmanager will fix the problem for that boot. Rebooting and it will break again. To fix permanently I had to remove the net.eth scripts from the default run level (so they were not in any runlevel after doing so). Then network manager suceeds with its dhcp on boot and there are no issues after gnome has started. I dont know enough to say if that is the ideal solution (removing net.eth scripts) but if so there should at least be a note after installing this version of the ebuild about doing so, since the net.eth scripts are still recommended by the gentoo install guide. I have had net.eth scripts and network manager in the default run level for sometime (more than 9 months I believe) and it was working up until I installed this version I believe. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install networkmanager-0.7.1-r6 2. Have net.ethX scripts in the default runlevel 3. Reboot 4. Watch for dhcp conflict Actual Results: No network connectivity Expected Results: Working network

Also my setup has 2 nics, eth0 is unplugged, eth1 is plugged into my router. So my boot process before I removed net.eth scripts was like this: eth0 will look for dhcp, timeout, then eth1 will run pickup dhcp. Then NetworkManager kicks in and gives a die message dhcp already running.
NetworkManager REPLACES gentoo init scripts. It's designed as a replacement tool and is not supposed to work together. If you want to use NM, please delete (or rename) your /etc/init.d/net.XX scripts.

My point is that I wasn't notified that they should be deleted. I had to find out after I was having dhcp problems. Consider this a feature request for a heads up about this functionality.
