[gentoo-soc] Gentoo NetworkManager Plug-in Weekly Report #4

This week I fixed two bugs and made a little improvement

    * Fixed a bug when dealing with default wep key
    * fixed a bug when dealing with global setting
    * Improved hex and ASCII key differentiating

Several people are confused with baselayout/openrc init scripts when
using NetworkManager. I will write an article to explain their
relationship and how to make them work together.

Robert and I have talked about our next plan. Currently the most
important part of the plug-in has been implemented. But there's still
many things we could do.

Because Gentoo is moving to /etc/conf.d/network, I will try to make the
plug-in compatible with it. When the migration is completed, I hope this
plug-in will work properly without further modification. But I find
there's little documentation about it. The only one I find is
/etc/conf.d/network and it seems that it's not a complete one.

I hope I could push this project to upstream NetworkManager and I chose
GPLv2 which is compatible with NetworkManager. I will contact Dan when
our plug-in is stable enough. Certainly there may be several good advice
from him and further improvement will be made then.
