That's the bug. And *seemingly* only after reboots. I've tried to halt and it worked. It has some of a random behavior. Now the explaination: I don't want net.eth0 to start so I've removed the net.eth0 link (since also after removing it from the default runlevel, it bothered me with the dhcpcd waiting for the carrier - TWICE, while booting). I can only post some useless[1] output from the boot time: * Bringing up interface lo * 127.0.0.1/8 ... [ ok ] * Adding routes * 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 ...

[1]I said it's useless because if I run /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart .. it outputs almost the same lines (the ones about net.wlan0): IT WORKS fine. ifconfig gives the net.wlan0 an address, a subnet, a broadcast, route finds the right gateway and the /etc/resolv.conf file is correctly written. And internet just works! # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart * Bringing up interface wlan0 * Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ] * Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...

The problem seems to be that net.wlan0 is incorrectly pulled in in runlevel 0 (boot) and not just runlevel 3 (default). Normally, the package coming right after will be the one pulling it in -- in this case, it looks to be localmount. (However, your collate/sorting doesn't appear to be working correctly, so in your case it might not be that package -- normally, the "rc-update show" will be shown sorted, but on your system it doesn't, which points to a collate/locale problem, and things might appear out of order.) Check the depend() section of everything marked with "boot" in "rc-update show", and make sure none of them have a "need net", "require net" or "after net". Again, net.wlan0 should never start in the boot section, which is your problem. Also, you may need to check /etc/conf.d/rc for the NET_STRICT_CHECKING and RC_PLUG_SERVICES variables -- see the comments in the file for details and pointers to what to set them to.
I also have this problem,but i can't get my network up automatically. #/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start * Bringing up interface wlan0 * Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ] * Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ...

[...] > It seems that dhcpcd failed to get the right ip. > I have to killall dhcpcd ,and do dhcpcd wlan0,everything goes fine. Hey!! That problem is why I decided to set everything manually, since right: dhcpcd wlan0 worked fine but sometimes didn't .. I didn't realize that I should have killed it first. So the problem is not dhcpcd (probably) but this "boot runlevel" where all these tools aren't ready as far as I understood.
(In reply to comment #1) same problem here. wlan0 interface remains inactive after boot. I have to run dhcpcd manually on it after boot.

I ran into a related problem, if not the same problem... If I have both wpa_supplicant AND wireless-tools installed, wlan0 will try to use wireless-tools no matter what I do to /etc/conf.d/net. The "modules" directive has absolutely no effect. The only way I can get it to work is by un-merging wireless-tools.

I haven't seen any activity on this bug in almost a year, and I do not know if it is still an issue with current openrc. Please update to the most recent openrc. If this is still an issue, feel free to re-open.
