Openrc net.lo check /sbin/wpa_supplicant to decide to put or not to put wpa_supplicant into modules list. But net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.7.1 will not put a wpa_supplicant command at /sbin, it will put at /usr/sbin. So net.lo will never use wpa_supplicant even if you configured as modules="wpa_supplicant" in configure file. sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc-0.6.1-r1 net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.7.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant /sbin/wpa_supplicant
Possibly related to bug 277594?
