Thanks John, that did it.

I tried all the versions of NM in portage, as mentioned by Steev, but 
they all wanted to bring in the entire gnome desktop.

After following your instructions above everything built fine, only 
bringing in two gnome modules:
    gnome-base/gconf
    gnome-base/orbit

I did some preliminary testing and it seems to work but I'm dealing with 
some configuration issues.

I'm testing it on a laptop that needs to use a static IP at one location 
and sometimes use a VZACCESS PC5740 (Qualcom PC card) to access the 
Verizon EVDO network, besides WPA wireless and regular dhcp on a vanilla 
Ethernet. That should be fun. I'm sure I'll be posting a new thread 
about those. If you have any knowledge in this area I would appreciate 
some tips. I have had all this working on the laptop using a custom 
/etc/conf.d/net, but now I hope to make it work with NM.

Thanks again,
Rod
