Hi everyone,

This is the weekly report for Gentoo NetworkManager Plug-in.

I'm glad to tell you that writing support is implemented now. That means
any changes made via nm-applet will be written into /etc/conf.d/net and
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. You won't need to modify these
configuration files manually in most time.

#Details
It's about 2000 lines new code and keyfile plug-in helped me a lot.
I created a picture about the current status of the plug-in. If you are
interested, you could get more details from there(see the attachment).
In the picture I marked several features which are supported by NM but
are not supported by the configuration files. They won't be implemented
in the near future.

#Future work:
Test and fix bugs.
Improve documentation.
Think about how to support dh-client-id and dhcp-hostname.

Welcome you to join and test it. The overlay has already been updated.
Hope you enjoy it :). If you have any problems, feel free to contact me.
