In newly installed Gentoo + Plasma 5, no netwrok icon shows in system tray so I can not use NM gui I have plasma-nm installed though.
And Network Manager has started but is inactive like this:

Solution is found.
Network status icon shows in system tray and NM GUI works well after installing kde-plasma/plasma-nm.

I installed kde-misc/plasma-nm before, it is wrong package.
The right package is kde-plasma/plasma-nm
Why there are two packages in very similar names?
What is kde-misc/plasma-nm for? Both are for the same purpose?

Now I solved my network status icon and NM GUI problem
but Network Manager still start but is inactive,

I'm using XFCE and, at ssytem start, sometimes the NetworkManager icon shows a red X and

#rc-service NetworkManager status

says the service is inactive, and i need to restar manually with

#rc.-service NetworkManager restart

What's the problem?
