NetworkManager on FreeBSD

[Jerome Warnier]

I would like to use the latest stable GNOME 2.18, but NetworkManager
seems to be required and does not build due to various missing dependencies.
I'm aware that NetworkManager depends among others on HAL and
wirelesstools which are Linux-centric, but I've heard that work was
ongoing to get them to work on FreeBSD also.

Could someone here tell where all this went so far?

Thanks
