Re: [PATCH] Backend for Gentoo Linux with baselayout-1.12

[Andy Botting <andy andybotting com>]

Steev,

I emerged it, and straight away, I found that once I had joined a
wireless network, I couldn't unjoin it or change to another. 

Aug 15 11:01:28 shiny NetworkManager: nm_ap_security_new_deserialize: assertion `dbus_message_iter_get_arg_type (iter) == DBUS_TYPE_INT32' failed
Aug 15 11:01:28 shiny NetworkManager: <WARNING>  nm_dbus_nm_set_active_device (): nm-dbus-nm.c:288 (nm_dbus_nm_set_active_device): Invalid argument (wireless security info).

I didn't actually get to test any of the Gentoo backend specific stuff
though.

cheers,

Andy
