Whenever a (wired or wireless) link is disconnected, the NetworkManager daemon receives signal 15 and shuts down. The signal seems to be triggered by the script /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status. The IN_BACKGROUND environment variable set in this script is not respected by /etc/init.d/NetworkManager. A possible fix is to put files/networkmanager-0.9.2.0-init-provide-net-r1.patch back into the ebuild.
