Description Elias Probst 2013-05-01 22:38:53 UTC
Running plasma-nm from git (b5222302).

Currently, modemmanager support in plasma-nm is mandatory. It would be nice to be able to build plasma-nm without modemmanager as it is possible to build NetworkManager without support for it.

Feedback from downstream (Gentoo, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486192):

> The current cmake check for net-libs/libmm-qt is done in automagic way.
> Upstream have to provide a build option for this first. This is also true for net-libs/libnm-qt, which checks for net-libs/libmm-qt too.

Re-opening this bug for now.

But don't forget, that when you want to use ModemManager, you have to compile it again with ModemManager support.

Sure, but in our case Gentoo's Portage takes care of all that automatically based on whether the USE flag "modemmanager" is set… thanks anyways for the hint.
