Glad to hear to you got somewhere with this effort! :-) If you configure your /etc/conf.d/net for wwan0 (or whatever it is now called) to use dhcpcd you should not need to manually attempt getting an IP address: config_wwan0="dhcpc" Don't forget to create a symlink for your interface in /etc/init.d/net.lo: cd /etc/init.d ln -s net.lo net.wwan0 rc-update add net.wwan0 default PS. No idea if NM will barf with these settings, but this is the vanilla gentoo approach to network configuration and it will deal with the non-admin user problem. -- Regards, Mick
