That's correct. The + just means it defaults to on, instead of the usual |
| 22 |
off default for USE flags. |

That should do exactly what you want, although you can do it |
| 32 |
in /etc/portage/package.use too (although that makes no sense in this |
| 33 |
case as the decision on which network manager to use must be global). |

Are you sure that you have spelled the USE flag correctly, that one has |
| 36 |
wasted significant chunks of my life before now 9and will probably do so |
| 37 |
again in the future). |

This is irrelevant. No USE flags are in make.conf until you put them |
| 42 |
there. |

In the begining, there was nothing. |

And God said "Let there be light" and there was light. |

There was still nothing, but you could see it better. |
