[gentoo-user] networkmanager stopped working after upgrade

[Pupino]

Hello everybody, i've made a system upgrade and networkmanager stopped
working (or at least i think that's the problem). I use wicd to
connect to my wireless ap and now it hangs on telling "validating
authentication". The packages involved in the upgrade that might be
responsible (imho) are: networkmanager, dbus and policykit. I've check
the buzilla and there is nothing known for networkmanager; i've tried
downgrading both networmanager and dbus but again no result.
So i have no clue of what can i try next...
i'm running a x86 system and i've unmasked only a bunch of packages
(the dependencies of kde 4 but i've installed only the kdelibs along
with it's deps)
any ideas? someone with the same problem?

thanks in advance

Davide

Wicd is a replacement for networkmanager, you shouldn't be trying to run
both at the same time.

Good to know, i tought wicd was just a gui to networkmanager, just
like nm-applet or knetworkmanager.
Understood that i got rid of NM and messed a bit with wicd and after
deleting the config files and reconfiguring all, now it's working.
Thanks for the help Neil.
