To use NetworkManager for your network connections: 1. Disable any previous network scripts in rc.conf (except for loopback) 2. Add networkmanager *after* dbus 3. Create your network configuration files in: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections The syntax is described here: https://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/api/09/ref-settings.html and here: https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/unstable/ref-settings.html The post-install script creates a sample config for each of your interfaces. Note: To use networkmanager for wifi connections you must compile wpa_supplicant with DBUS support. At the time of writing, the port in opt doesn't have it.
