So long as in /etc/conf.d/net your device is configured to use dhcp, it should work. You can try following this rough guide to get it going. Create a portage overlay: /usr/local/portage Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage in /etc/make.conf Go to https://www.confucius.ca/gentoo/overlay and get the ebuilds: sys-apps/dbus-cvs/dbus-cvs-0.22.ebuild sys-apps/hal/hal-0.4.1.ebuild net-misc/NetworkManager-cvs/NetworkManager-cvs-0.02.ebuild Then run: emerge -C dbus && emerge --digest dbus-cvs hal NetworkManager-cvs Following those instructions, you should get a proper environement in which NetworkManager can run. Not having dbus-cvs can cause a serious problem, and that's what most of the work above is for. Once it's all installed, run /etc/init.d/hald restart. Then you should be able to run NetworkManager and NetworkManagerInfo. For now, I run them manually in consoles without detaching to I can see what's going on. Should be fine to run the NetworkManager init.d script, and then NetworkManagerInfo in your gnome session. If you have any specific problems, let us/me know. When NetworkManager first came out, there was no support for Gentoo, so trying now may give better results.
