I placed it under kde-misc/plasma-widget-network-manager and named the ebuild "plasma-widget-network-manager-9999.ebuild". |

Go to your program menu (the blue K Icon in the left bottom corner). Under System is the entry KNetworkManager. Start that. Then you get a little icon in your system tray.
Have fun! |

I see KnetworkManager has been removed from the portage tree.
I found kde-base/knetworkconf meanwhile.
Do you think it could be a vald KNetworkManager substitute?
By the way, I saw kde-base/knetworkconf doesn't depend from NetworkManager, so I guess it's similar to wicd.
At the moment, I use wicd, but I'm not satisfied because it doesn't bring up eth interfaces automatically. For example, when I connect my PDA throug USB, KNetworkManager brought up the new eth1 interface and wicd don't do that. _________________ [HOWTO] Come criptare la /home usando cryptsetup e luks

Can you test kde-base/knetworkconf and tell us if it's actually working |

So you could use WICD or you could try to tweak OpenRc. |

As soon as NetworkManger applet (knetworkmanager) is in usable state we'll add it to the tree. Because upstream constantly shifts toward newer kdelibs and currently targeting kde-4.4, svn version doesn't work really well.
There have been some snapshots added to kde overlay (main playground for portage kde4 work).
For all interested - rev 1047285 works pretty ok with kde 4.3. _________________ 95% of all computer errors occur between chair and keyboard (TM)

I've kde 4.3.3 and qt 4.5
Which version of qt do you have? _________________ To nie moje s± s³owa, to legenda ludowa.....

You would have to manually edit ebuild to enforce specific SVN version. -9999.ebuild will always use the LATEST trunk. _________________ 95% of all computer errors occur between chair and keyboard (TM)

You don't have to manually edit the ebuild at all. You can just use
Code: | ESVN_REVISION=1047285 emerge -a knetworkmanager |

I found NetworkManager (any version) never works on my "special case" wireless setup. I MUST use wicd on all distros I've tried, which include Gentoo, Arch, Mandriva, Mint, Pclos, Ubuntu Studio, Fedora, and openSuse.
I found I needed a second bridged router to get a strong enough signal to the wireless computer's location in my house.
This involves entering the main router's address (IP, which is also the "gateway" as seen from the wireless computer), and also the 2nd router's address in either a config file, or an app like NetworkManager or wicd, using a static address setup.
With wicd, this is simple, as it's all done in one box, which has all the needed items clearly listed, and security key. All are available (not greyed out), and ALWAYS work perfectly.
With NetworkManager, there's a 2nd dialog box to "add" IP, gateway, routes, and Mask entries, but it's a weird setup where the boxes to add addresses don't work, and aren't clear as to which is which, as selecting one button opens an empty box with multiple places to fill in, but you can't easily tell which refers to which. Even if you enter the correct addresses, the "apply" button is greyed out, if you are user or root. There seems to be no way to make setting addresses/routes take effect. My user is in the correct group, so that's not the problem. For example, if you select the "gateway" or "mask" button in the top "menu" area and then click "add" (which ostensibly adds what item you selected), it always opens an empty box under the IP address column to fill in (not under the item you selected), and subsequent selections again open boxes under IP address, but move it down one row. Basically, you can't tell what you're adding, or if/what it's changing when you make a new selection and type in the address. Guess it doesn't matter, because apparently you can't save what you added anyway.
Maybe NM would work for me if I only had one router, but with the more complicated setup I'm forced into I've never gotten it to work. It's a huge PITA, as when I try a new distro or a fresh install of a testing version, I first have to download the needed wicd and deps for that distro on another system, copy them over to the new distro's packages cache, and install wicd manually before I can get a wireless connection up.
Bottom line is for me wicd just works perfectly every time, and NM has always been impossible to configure. Maybe I'm just missing the correct method or trick to enter the addresses in NM, but I've tried countless times in every manner I can think of, but always wind up unable to save my edits. I really can't see why distros keep trying to use a flawed NM when wicd is basically perfect, and easy to configure. _________________ Main box- AsRock x370 Gaming K4
