I was said that I need network manager to control my interfaces. What package should I emerge? I am in console mode. Is that ncurses based or command line? Any other pointers on how this can be configured are welcome. Thanks > > net-misc/networkmanager It comes with CLI tools but it's usually used with a frontend GUI. See http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NetworkManager#NetworkManager_GUI_bits_in_GTK For KDE I use kde-misc/plasma-nm. If you don't have a desktop it propably makes more sense to just use wpa_supplicant directly. If you use systemd net-misc/netctl has a nice curses UI but I've only tried on Arch. -- Fernando Rodriguez
