Thanks for your reply and suggestion, I wonder if there is a way to clean up my noob approach with mask and unmask etc.

If you can't contribute or know how to help, that is not a problem, but don't give me that wiki shit, thanks.

OK, I think I have to hold my horses back from aslking questions so quick. I installed nm-applet and added it to auto start and now it is working fine. Next subject will be sound but I will figure around a bit before I post another question, sorry guys.

I have a fresh install of funtoo XFCE4, ethernet network is working fine, but wireless, doesn't show. I used (chroot) # emerge linux-firmware networkmanager (chroot) # rc-update add NetworkManager default and it installed fine. sorry to get you guys thru my birth pain with Funtoo ;-)

OK, I run emerge -- ask linux-firmware networkmanager and then I had to merge 2 config files running etc-update after that I run again emerge linux-firmware networkmanager and it installed fine, phew, it's done.

OK, install failed again, but for differrent reason: !!!

OK, I added "dev-libs/glib-2.48.2" to my "/etc/portage/make.conf" in my USER line and run it again and now it seems to work (still compiling) I will mark it solved after compiling was successful. However, as noob to Funtoo, I am afraid, I will show up more often in the near future ;-) Thank you, Oleg for your reply, I will come back in case install would have failed. Dirk

Dear funtoo community, I did it, I started my install of funtoo, but can't get the networkmanager installed :-( Also, I do know the --autounmask-write comand but don't know how to add this ">=dev-libs/glib-2.48.2 dbus" to USE??? I am just starting, so please be patient with me ;-) Thank you for everyone willing to help Dirk (chroot) bell / # emerge linux-firmware networkmanager * IMPORTANT: 3 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items. * IMPORTANT: 3 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating. * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
