You want kdenetwork, not kdenetwork-meta. There are two sets of ebuilds for KDE 3.4, the old style monolithic ebuilds, kdebase, kdenetwork etc, and the new split ebuilds where each individual KDE component gets its own ebuild. The two are not compatible. The split builds are good if you want to save space and fine tune what is and isn't installed, but they are a good deal slower to install from, unless you only use a small subset of what KDE offers. I use them on my iBook but stick with the monolithic builds on my desktop. To enable wifi in KDE, you could add "kde-base/kdenetwork wifi" to /etc/ portage/package.use but it would seem more sensible to add wifi to your global USE flags in /etc/make.conf. If the computer uses wifi, wouldn't you want wifi support in every program that offers it? -- Neil Bothwick deja vous - the act of forgetting someone's name /again/ despite being introduced to them several times.
