I followed the how-to in the Gentoo Handbook on Wireless Networking. I have successfully configured this on prior installations on the same system hardware - Dell Latitude D610 with ipw2200 using wpa_supplicant. /etc/conf.d/net: config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) I have uninstalled wireless-tools to prevent any confusion. When I run `/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start`, the result: # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start * Bringing up interface eth1 * No configuration specified; defaulting to DHCP * dhcp... * Running dhcpcd... eth1: dhcpcd 4.0.13 starting eth1: waiting for carrier /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel ap_scan=2 network={ ssid="MyESSID" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA2 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 psk=......... priority=2 } When I execute it from the command line, e.g., wpa_supplicant -dd -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -Dwext ...and then run `dhcpcd eth1` from another shell, the connection is established, and an IP address is obtained. Any suggestions on how to debug and resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Uhm, you're trying to start an interface which you haven't configured in /etc/conf.d/net ... ? config_eth0, shouldn't that be config_eth1?
Thanks for the feedback, but I think it doesn't matter about config_eth0 being in /etc/conf.d/net. If I change that file to read: config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) config_eth1=( "dhcp" ) modules=( "!iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" ) wpa_supplicant_eth1="-B -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" ... then at least iwconfig is NOT used, but then wpa_supplicant is also NOT used.
This bug can likely be closed. I attempted to `emerge -ue system` and stumbled into http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276715 due to emerge failure on openrc. Whle re-examining the settings, I found a typographical error in my own instance of /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, which had not been properly migrated to /etc/conf.d/modules. So, attribute this "bug" to operator error. Apologies...
You must read "/usr/share/doc/openrc/net.example" (Not /etc/conf.d/net.example) some syntax changed. modules=("wpa_supplicant") -> modules="wpa_supplicant"
