Here is some reading materials: http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=knetworkmanager I think this is the one that has it masked: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253788 Comment number 2 mentions this is why it is masked among other reasons. Most of the time if something is masked, there is a bug for it. Just search for it. Resolved bugs should not make a package be masked but open ones can. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
