Gentoo doesn't actually ship NM at all - it is in the Gentopia overlay (would be considered Unstable or ~arch) I do apply patches, and I will hopefully get a chance to look at this patch this week, but I don't know as I found out we are losing one of our primary linux developers at work, so I don't know how busy I will be - as it stands right now, NetworkManager does work with Gentoo, but it doesn't read from any configs at all. It simply does DHCP. So this patch will be very nice to have - as for releasing a bump, I would say no, if it is applied in HEAD, I can apply the patch in the ebuild and go from there. Just need to get some testing done with it (not to mention that I don't use a /etc/conf.d/net file at all personally) Hope that helps. -- Steev _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
