Well, the networkmanager recipe in mete-oe needs a class,
bash-completion, which isn't available to you.

This tells us that you're using the jethro branch from OE-core. This
one doesn't have the class that you required earlier. The class is only
avalaible in the master branch.

Well, this one lies to us, as you have only copied meta-oe. Had you
cloned the repository instead, we would be able to tell you that you're
not using the jethro branch of meta-oe, but rather the master branch, a
lot easier.

You need to use the correct branches for all your layers. Mixing release
branches for certain layers, and master branches for other is a no-go,
unless you know what you're doing. (And can handle the pain yourself).

Cheers,
Anders
