There is no backend plugin to read default Gentoo network config file yet. There is generic system backend which can be used on any distro (not sure if that's finished and working, but I'm pretty sure Dan can provide more info about it). If you want to use NM on Gentoo you should take a look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/NetworkManager. It should provide you with some answers - especially than you need to DISABLE default Gentoo networking scripts and let NM handle everything. This guide was written for NM-0.6.x as Gentoo officially doesn't ship NM-0.7 yet. It's a bit out of date, but still very good starting point.

The problems appears when I connect to a network which requires a static configuration (no DHCP). Whenever I connect to a wired network wichout DHCP my /etc/resolv.conf is overwitten by NetworkManager with the next content: ### BEGIN INFO # # Modified_by: NetworkManager # Process: /usr/bin/NetworkManager # Process_id: 4393 # ### END INFOWhich distro are you using? This probably means that your distro's backend (which reads static configuration) isn't able to pull your DNS servers from that static config.Thanks for your answer. I'm using Gentoo. My distro stores the network config in /etc/conf.d/net. Without NetworkManager the config is read and used as expected, but with NetworkManager seems it is ignored. Is NetworkManager supposed to be able to read my network config from my distro config files? I thought NetworkManager configuration was independent from the distro config and should be configured separately. Iin fact, that's exactly what I was asking, how to configure it but from your words I deduce there is a backend which reads the files I use to configure the network in my distro. So now the question is, how I can find out if NetworkManager backend can find my dns settings from my distro config files?

/etc/resolv.conf emptyIf you have a static configuration for your network (no DHCP) and your /etc/resolv.conf stays empty (except for the NetworkManager comments) then you have to change the format of dns_servers in /etc/conf.d/net to use single quotes only. e.g.:
*File:* /etc/conf.d/net dns_servers_eth0="192.168.3.1 215.170.93.234 210.145.254.170"
This guild was written for baselayout 1 and sysvinit, but it should also work with baselayout2 and openrc.
