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.
wpa_supplicant doesn't handle switching between wored and wireless
interfaces, which is why I suggest a network manager. That could be
NetworkManager, but you could equally use Wicd. Both are in portage.
Alternatively, you could just set up the two interfacs
in /etc/conf.d/net and switch between them by starting and
stopping /etc/init.d/net.{eth0,wlan0}.
It depends on how automatic you want it.

[gentoo-user] Network manager [ control of wireless and wired interafaces]
Hi. 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 -- German gentger...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Mysterious vanishing of DNS entry of www.youtube.com...was I hacked?
The second argument to both host and nslookup, specifies the server to use for the lookup. So, you can compare the results of the DNS server specified in /etc/resolv.conf, with others like those mentioned above, eg host youtube.com 8.8.8.8 or nslookup youtube.com 4.2.2.4 However, youtube.com will no doubt be using global server load balancing, which means the DNS response will be based on the source IP address of the DNS request, so you can be directed to the closest youtube.com server(s). So, since you cant be sure the DNS results will be consistent across DNS servers, you can't use that to determine if you're being MITM'd. Mind you I don't think a non-targetted MITM would bother with someone's youtube traffic, but if your concerned about that just connect to youtube with https, so the certificate can be verified.

I think it's far more likely the router ran out of memory, a process hung or something. Perhaps other sites worked because they were cached. There's no way to debug it now, and replies can only be speculation. If it becomes a regular problem, I suggest you install OpenWRT, which will give you the tools you need for debugging it. Stroller.

You tell portage to not pull in unneeded dependencies by setting the
appropriate USE flags. The people you are asking for assistance will
determine this by reading the ebuild, or by using the appropriate
portage tools to figure it out. You should start learning these skills
yourself so you can answer your own questions.
1. Run eix-e networkmanager. There is nothing there related to x11.
2. Read the ebuild for networkmanager-1.0.0. There is nothing in there
related to x11, so that's not it.
3. Run emerge -pvt networkmanager. This will give an indented view of
what is pulling in what. Find the entries of x11-proto etc and see what
is pulling them in. Investigate those packages to disable x11.

What about when you need one of the many features that this simple example doesn't cover (like permissions)? what is the guid? It is hard. I first started creating these connections by reading a page on freedesktop.org that had the same info as what you now get with man nm-settings. The latter might even have existed at the time... I haven't tested this in a while but in the past you needed one of id and uuid. The uuid is easily generated with uuidgen. When I started using NetworkManager I had hell trying to modify that file manually because plasma-nm ask for root password when modifying system wide connections but it doesn't save the changes (the solution was to run nm- connection-editor manually as root). The same applies to nmtui and it only covers a few options. I don't remember exactly what needed to be changed in the file but it wasn't intuitive. There's a famous rant by Linus about having to provide the root password in order to join a network. I've never used KDE so I have no idea about which gui applet to use and how/why settings are saved and I've never used nmtui but I suspect (unless it was a specific NM bug at the time) that it was a problem with the polkit settings like Linus' problem.

[gentoo-user] best practise for 4 disks ... redundancy
greetings again yesterday I received a shiny new server for a client. It brings 4 x 1 TB SATA disks, is capable of UEFI and I started setting it up. GPT partitioning, small partition(s) for the ESP, some swap, and bigger partitions of type fd=raid for creating 2 mdadm-raids (rootfs and data) with level 6. ok so far. Then I spent some hours fiddling with grub2, gummiboot et al to get that box booting up fine. dracut doesn't assemble the rootfs-raid etc etc ... - fun What the question is in general: even if I manage to have it booting via UEFI from /dev/sda1 or so ... I still have this single point of failure as the vfat-partitioned ESP is on one physical disk only. I would like to set it up in a way that it boots even when the /dev/sda dies ... Maybe I have to go the BIOS way and have an ext2-boot-raid1 over 4 disks/partitions? I did that on other servers back then. What is the up-to-date and recommended way of achieving this? How do you gentoo-users do these things? I am still at the start with this server and don't mind backing up the rootfs and start from scratch with partitioning ;) Thanks, Stefan
