Gustav, The Gentopia overlay has an ebuild for NetworkManager (and even BreakMyGentoo also maybe). If you haven't used alternative overlays in Gentoo before, have a look at the gentoo docs for it, or even try emerging the latest 'layman' package.
I have been using NetworkManager 0.6.2 for a while on my powerbook (with a madwifi card) and it's been very reliable. cheers, Andy On Sat, 2006-07-08 at 14:21 +1200, Gustav van der Merwe wrote: > NM seems like a really cool tool, but I can't find instructions anywhere > on getting it up and working for gentoo. > A bit of googling around shows that there was interest at one point > http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2005-August/msg00132.html > and that it actually kind of worked. > I can't find anything recent showing that there has been work towards > supporting gentoo, or getting a gentoo ebuild out there and this is a > shame. > I would like it if gentoo had the same kind of powerful network tools as > other distributions. > > Is there any reason that gentoo does not have NM in portage? > > _______________________________________________ > NetworkManager-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
