[X-POST] Anyone porting NetworkManager to FreeBSD ?

[Mikhail Gorbulev]

I was thinking about porting it, because I really need this thing on
my laptop and to have some programming experience. I just wanted to
have a companion, because I'm not sure I can handle this by myself and
because I'm pretty lazy these days, so I need to feel responsibility
:)
Anyone interested?
