User Notes: Install NetworkManager by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../NetworkManager-&NetworkManager-version;-upstream-fix-1.patch && patch -Np1 -i ../NetworkManager-&NetworkManager-version;-lfs-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/NetworkManager \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no \ --with-crypto=gnutls && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no: This parameter is needed to avoid systemd files being installed. --with-crypto=gnutls: This parameter ensures the package uses gnutls for cryptography, instead of nss. --with-distro=lfs: This parameter is only needed if you failed to create /etc/lfs-release when you installed LFS. /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf For NetworkManager to work, at least minimal configuration file must be present. Such file is not installed with make install. Issue following command as the root user to create minimal NetworkManager.conf file: cat >> /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf << "EOF" [main] plugins=keyfile EOF See man 5 NetworkManager.conf for any additional options. To automatically start the NetworkManager daemon when the system is rebooted, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/networkmanager bootscript from the package.
