NetworkManager is in the tree, and it is Good. (See Luis Medinas's post on how to get it working in Gentoo.) Unlike the version in the overlays, this one actually works for me—consistently. Hell, I can even connect to the ubcsecure WPA protected campus network (sparing myself an annoying login screen), and I've never managed to connect to that before. (I'm told a lot of Windows users have issues with it, too.)

Oh, and NetworkManager finally seems to store its keys properly in GNOME's keyring. This, too, is Good.

NetworkManager is awesome, I was using it on my Macbook under Ubuntu over the summer, and it just worked... So much easier than the old school config files I used under Redhat 9.0 and Gentoo, and my script files that I used to change configs for different networks ;)
