Hi,

I've been unable to build libnm-util without Linux Wireless Extensions;
 it seems to be needed in a few places other than the wireless and
wireless-security components.  Maybe upstream could add a configure
option and ifdefs to still be able to build it without certain features.

The (unofficial?) gnome3 FreeBSD porting effort decided it was easier to
just remove network-manager from gnome-shell:

But it sounds like gnome-shell on FreeBSD is still unstable for other
reasons too.
