Hey people,

the connection always works if i start wpa_supplicant manually, but not the init script.
I tried adding in/etc/conf.d/net one line above wlanconfig

Code:

/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 destroy
/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta


This brings the the ath0 up, but dhcp is not working...
If you guys find a solution, please post your conf.d/net

IT IS WORKING; F I N A L L Y !

look at the post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3337701.html#3337701
The developers of baselayout/madwifi ( I guess it is madwifi) got it fixed finally. install the latest (unstable) baselayout, madwifi-ng-tools, madwifi-ng and ifplugd (important, I got kernel panic without it.)

good luck.

Were you using netplug when you got the kernel panic (as noted in the other thread you mentioned)? I'm just wondering if I need to install ifplugd even though I'm not using any network hotplug services.

Hei,
sorry for ht elate reply. I did not need to install ifplugd at all, I think it did it automagically while installing the new wpa_supplicant and madwifi (I have no time to check the ebuilds).
