You can't call it virtual/network-manager, that calls to mind, you know,
net-misc/networkmanager.  That's just too confusing imho.  I wouldn't
object to virtual/net, or pretty much anything else that isn't
confusing.  The net scripts are not a network manager, networkmanager,
wicd, even wpa_supplicant would be things I would consider to be network
managers.
