Thanks Neil for the reply,
I think many moons ago, when I first installed Gentoo via the online docs, I
installed kde v3.2 via some "emerge kde-base/kde" or something like that.
If I do an "esearch kde", I notice a whole lot of packages I don't have?! :(
I would like to use my /etc/portage/package.use file (as is the proper way
right), so what package(s) entry should I put in there to USE 'wifi'?
If I try to "emerge -Dav kde-base/kdenetwork-meta" I get all kinds of
packages that are blocked by =kde-base/kdenetwork-3.4*
I run my gnome and kde as ~x86 generally on my notebook.
Also, how come I can clearly see:
* kde-base/kde
