Hi. Well, let me say that I'm trying to make network-manager work like expected on my distro too, but after a first install and some superficial tweaks I still can't get it working, actually I don't know why Linux From Scratch doesn't use a network configuration like Debian/Ubuntu or something more comprehensive and already widely used, I'm thinking about trying to change this on my distro. But, the network on LFS doesn't looks like Debian, so I recommend you to take a look at the patch on this Wiki, and use it or make the proper corrections: http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/NetworkManager Hope it helps. []'s PS: If possible, keep in touch if you can make NM work as expected on your distro.
