I never had a problem with nm ever before until I updated to nm-0.9.8.6 from 0.9.8.4 and nm stopped working. I first removed entire /etc/Networkmanager folder to start from zero. But now I can't even add profiles for wired connections or connect to wireless. When I try nothing happens. I see these in my logs: Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.117290] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.265282] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1737, idProduct=0079 Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.265293] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.265301] usb 2-2: Product: Linksys WUSB600N Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band ver. 2 Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.265307] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Linksys Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.372664] usb 2-2: reset high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.498868] ieee80211 phy3: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 3572, rev 0221 detected Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.513882] ieee80211 phy3: rt2x00_set_rf: Info - RF chipset 0009 detected Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor kernel: [ 2066.514343] ieee80211 phy3: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> rfkill4: found WiFi radio killswitch (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.2/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/ieee80211/phy3/rfkill4) (driver rt2800usb) Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): using nl80211 for WiFi device control Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): driver supports Access Point (AP) mode Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): new 802.11 WiFi device (driver: 'rt2800usb' ifindex: 7) Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/4 Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2] Oct 10 11:48:23 mordor NetworkManager[5376]: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device.

The update to 0.9.8.6 changed the settings backend from ifnet to keyfile for systemd users. So in 0.9.8.4, your systemwide connection information was stored in /etc/conf.d/net; and now, in 0.9.8.6, it's in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* To temporarily restore the old behavior, in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf change plugins=keyfile to plugins=ifnet,keyfile However, we want to get keyfile working bug-free, so we are interested why it broke for you. What desktop environment are you using (gnome-2, gnome-3.6, gnome-3.8)? Is your user a member of 'plugdev' group? What versions of the following packages do you have, and with what USE flags: net-misc/networkmanager, gnome-extra/nm-applet, dev-libs/glib, dev-libs/dbus-glib, sys-auth/polkit ?
You should also be able to remove /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf entirely and it will use keyfile plugin by default

(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #2) > You should also be able to remove /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf > entirely and it will use keyfile plugin by default This is what I did initially and got into this situation. I'll try again though.
I found this in the logs: Could not load plugin 'ifnet': /usr/lib64/NetworkManager/libnm-settings-plugin-ifnet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This happened after I was switching back and forth between 0.9.8.4 and 0.9.8.6. I was able to start the service when I upgraded to 0.9.8.6 so this wasn't there. Now I can't start the service because of this error. I run revdep-rebuild but it didn't find anything. How do I fix this?
Have you checked for any files under /etc/NetworkManager that could still point to ifnet?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #6) > Have you checked for any files under /etc/NetworkManager that could still > point to ifnet? Well, I still have [main] plugins=ifnet,keyfile [ifnet] managed=true auto_refresh=false as suggested in Comment 1. Leaving only [main] plugins=keyfile brings us back to square one: all of the above mentioned problems. But yea, service starts properly then...

Then, lets keep with keyfile to know what is causing that problems. For that, I think you should simply remove the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to let it stick on defaults. And run 0.9.8.6 with systemd USE flag enabled (that will make you use keyfile plugin) Once you are in that situation, if still failing to connect to your connection, try to configure them again from scratch

Still can not connect to any wireless or create a new profile for the wired connections. This is what I have in logs: Oct 10 21:51:38 mordor systemd[1]: Starting Network Manager...

Umm, looks like there are some invalid old configs in your system. I would remove (move to other location ;)) all your stuff in /etc/NetworkManager* to ensure all is reconfigured from scratch. Maybe that configs come from really old NM versions

They are usually inside /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections If you don't have any /etc/NetworkManager/ *directory* and keep getting that errors about problems with some settings even without anything configured, maybe they come from some user specified settings (but I don't remember the exact directory inside HOME where networkmanager places them, as I have always configured by networks for all users)

I got nothing. I changed to a user I never used except for once in the past and I have the same problem.
Perhaps you are seeing your user's (not systemwide) old connections stored using gconf. Using gconf-editor, look under system → networking → connections (or in ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/ if you prefer).

As to the gconf folder in user dir, I got only .pulseaudio under system.
So in order to verify the validity of this "leftover settings" theory I created a completely new user from scratch. It is showing exact same symptoms. Doesn't this show that there is something else other than old settings residing somewhere in the system?
Guys, I don't wanna pressure you or anything but my computer is really inconvenient to use with this problem. Do you have any other suggestions?
I don't see what can be wrong in your setup causing this to appear. Reading your last posted logs: Oct 10 21:51:39 mordor NetworkManager[23229]: keyfile: updating /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Gimbley Network-2517c221-2be4-4cce-8737-604115e62f2e -> Looks like you have some files there :O

Also, why doesn't NM create a new folder under /etc when there is none? Is this created only when I emerge NM?

There is now a bug report for this in gnome bugzilla. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710091
Finally fixed it! It was caused by ccache feature when used for compiling. Disabling it compiled a working nm. Thanks all for your help.
