Some of the comments about using wpa_supplicant in /etc/conf.d/net.example are outdated, have typos, or are just wrong. I will attach a small patch to tidy these up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Thanks, please provide the output from "emerge --info" so we can determine whether you're talking about baselayout-1 or baselayout-2 (and therefore openrc)...

Created attachment 213240 [details] net.example.openrc.patch This patch is for openrc which has the same issue. Roy, can you please apply this? Thanks, William
Mike, what is the status of this in baselayout-1? Thanks, William
as i said in the summary e-mail, i didnt really look at any of the net related bugs and didnt plan to. if it's a simple documentation fix (like this one), then feel free to highlight it in a response to your summary e-mail. the net.example was already partially fixed via another bug. the rest should be in there now. http://sources.gentoo.org/baselayout/branches/baselayout-1_12/net-scripts/conf.d/net.example?r1=3166&r2=3167
http://roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/changeset/9ca65be42eda6b940100f8559db04848411818aa
This is fixed in baselayout-1 and openrc.
