Description Mark Dominik Bürkle 2017-06-12 21:23:06 UTC 
nm-applet is only used if NetworkManager is used, too.

So, in my opinion, it would make sense to follow the IUSE flags of NetworkManager in nm-applet regarding the modemmanager USE flag,

in 1.4.6-r2.ebuild:
IUSE="+introspection +modemmanager teamd"

in 1.8.0-r1.ebuild:
IUSE="+introspection gcr +modemmanager selinux teamd"

Kind regards,
mdb

nm-applet-1.16.0 has lost the IUSE default again. Therefore reopening, as discussed with leio on IRC.

Also:
<@leio> ulm: but maybe it could be a better name for the USE flag in general.
<@leio> like wwan, as it's called upstream for nm-applet
